Who establishes the age range, caseload, and class size requirements for special education teachers?

The establishment of age range, caseload, and class size requirements for special education teachers is dictated by Kentucky Administrative Regulations. These regulations provide the framework within which special education services must be delivered, ensuring that the requirements are consistent and compliant with federal and state laws. They detail critical aspects of educational practice aimed at supporting students with disabilities, thereby laying out the operational standards that schools must follow.

The Kentucky Administrative Regulations are designed to create a structured and effective special education system, which ultimately benefits both the educators and the students they serve. This regulatory framework addresses the needs of students and supports teachers in managing their responsibilities effectively within specified limits. Other entities, such as education boards or councils, may provide oversight or contribute to policy discussions but do not have the authority to establish these specific regulations.
