Complaints

The EPSB receives complaints against certificate holders alleging violations of KRS 161.120(1) from superintendents and from other sources under KRS 161.120(3)(d).​​ Complaints may be made by any person, organization, or entity provided that they are in writing and signed by the person or representative of the organization or entity offering the complaint. An electronic signature will satisfy the requirement of a signed complaint.

A superintendent's duty to report educator misconduct in his or her district is pursuant to KRS 161.120(3). The EPSB utilizes the Kentucky Educator Credentialing System (KECS) for a superintendent or his or her designee to file these reports.

The EPSB also accepts complaints of misconduct from members of the general public. To make a complaint of educator misconduct to the EPSB, please complete the form and email to epsbeducatorethics@education.ky.gov​; fax to (502) 564-7080; or mail to EPSB, Attn: EPSB, 300 Sower Boulevard, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601. The form requires the complainant to include a detailed description of the alleged misconduct, the educator's full name, district, and school, if applicable. If a case is opened against an educator, the educator will be given a copy of the complaint. Please note that the EPSB does not accept anonymous complaints.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
