CORBINâThe Corbin Independent School District will be offering nearly 80 students a âdo-overâ year for 2021-22 after the Corbin Board of Education approved Senate Bill 128 during Thursdayâs special called meeting.
In March, Gov. Andy Beshear signed Senate Bill 128 into law, a bill that created the Supplemental School Year Program, an emergency legislation allows any K-12 student enrolled during the 2020-2021 school year to use the 2021-2022 school year as a supplemental year to retake or supplement courses the student already has taken. SB 128 specifically states that the supplemental year is for students to re-take or supplement courses previously taken during the 2020-2021 year, not to simply gain an additional year in the public school system to explore new coursework.
Students in the Russellville Independent school system will get a chance to redo the current school year if they so desire.
On Tuesday, the Russellville Independent Board of Education unanimously voted to approve the allowance of the supplemental school year as provided by Senate Bill 128 (SB 128).
The bill allows for students currently enrolled in grades K-12 to take part in a âdo-overâ year during the 2021-22 school year. The board approved the Supplemental School Year Program (SSYP) after extensive investigation and consultation with multiple professional organizations including the Kentucky School Board Association (KSBA), the Kentucky Association of School Administrators (KASA), the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE), the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA), and the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA).
