title: Department of Education

description: The Department of Education significantly changed due to the Kentucky Education Reform Act of 1990 (KERA). All positions in the Department of Education were abolished and the new commissioner of Education reorganized the Department with new positions in 1991. The Workforce Development Cabinet was also created in response to KERA. The State Board of Adult Vocational Education and Vocational Rehabilitation; Office of Vocational Rehabilitation; and Adult Basic Education programs were transferred to the new cabinet. The Department was reorganized again in 1998 and again in 2010. The Kentucky Department of Education provides resources and guidance to Kentucky's public schools and districts as they implement the state's K-12 education requirements. The department also serves as the state liaison for federal education requirements and funding opportunities. Current organizational structure is as follows: Office of the Commissioner; Office of Guiding Support Services and General Counsel; Office of Administration and Support; Office of Knowledge, Information and Data Services; Office of Next-Generation Schools and Districts; Office of Assessment and Accountability; and Office of Next-Generation Learners.
