Kentucky Department of Education

​The Kentucky Department of Education produces and sells a number of tools and resources for use by educators, parents and others who are interested in the state's education system. These include a variety of publications, compact disks (CD-ROMS) and DVDs. Their focus includes curriculum, instructional techniques, best practices, school and district governance and other topics.  

​

As a standard practice, each school and district receives at least one free copy of every new publication when it is issued. Additional copies are available to schools and districts, typically at a reduced price. The cost of developing and producing copies of these tools is recovered by their sale to educators, both within and outside of Kentucky, and to the general public. The funds that are generated through the sale of these documents are used to pay for their production as well as to fund the production of other resources.
