Kentucky Department of Education Preschool Coordinator Advisory Group to meet virtually Jan. 27.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ/KY DEPT. OF EDUCATION) – The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) Preschool Coordinator Advisory Group (PCAG) will meet virtually on Jan. 27 at 10 a.m. ET.

PCAG was created to advise KDE’s Office of Special Education and Early Learning (OSEEL) on unmet needs and issues relevant to state-funded preschool. PCAG consists of 10 members who represent each region across the state. Members are actively engaged in the work of state-funded preschool, and provide valuable feedback and suggestions on critical issues that align with OSEEL’s priorities. This feedback is used to help shape the guidance and support provided by OSEEL staff.

Even though the meeting will be held via video teleconference, members of the public may watch in the commissioner’s conference room at KDE, 300 Sower Blvd., Frankfort, KY 40601.

Visitors will be required to wear a face covering or they will not be permitted in the building. If a visitor does not have a face covering upon arrival, a face covering will be provided.
