Who has the authority to revoke certificates or licenses issued under previous law?

The Educational Professional Standards Board (EPSB) is the correct authority responsible for revoking certificates or licenses issued under previous law. This board is tasked with overseeing the certification and licensure of educators in Kentucky, ensuring they meet the necessary qualifications and adhere to professional standards. The EPSB has the power to enforce regulations related to educator conduct and can take action to revoke or suspend licenses when violations occur, thereby maintaining the integrity of the teaching profession.

In contrast, local school boards primarily handle personnel decisions and hiring within individual schools but do not possess the authority to revoke state-issued certificates or licenses. The Department of Education plays a significant role in supporting educational policies and systems at a broader level but does not engage in the revocation of certifications. The State Attorney General may provide legal guidance and support, but the specific power to revoke educator certifications lies within the EPSB.
