Public school districts must report information about course offerings and assignments of all certified staff to the Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB). This includes details such as course names, content areas, student populations, grade levels, teacher assignments, and staff IDs. Data is collected through the Kentucky Educator Credentialing System (KECS) and Infinite Campus.

For more information about the Local Educator Assignment Data reporting requirements, please visit the KDE LEAD webpage.
