A RESOLUTION confirming the appointment of Carrie Camille Caples to the Standards and Assessments Process Review Committee.
Summary
SR211 is a simple confirmation resolution. It approves Governor Andy Beshear’s appointment of Carrie Camille Caples of Hopkinsville to the Standards and Assessments Process Review Committee for a term ending October 8, 2029. The resolution states that the appointment was made under KRS 158.6453 and that Caples meets the statutory requirement for the seat she is filling, which represents principals.
The measure does not create new policy, amend education standards, or change assessment procedures. Its legal effect is limited to Senate confirmation of a gubernatorial appointee to an existing education-related advisory or review body established under Kentucky law. Once adopted, it formally completes the appointment process and allows Caples to serve on the committee.
Impact
SR211 affects Kentucky’s education governance structure only by confirming one member to the Standards and Assessments Process Review Committee under KRS 158.6453. It does not alter the duties, powers, or composition of the committee beyond filling the principal-representative seat, and it has no direct fiscal or regulatory impact on the public. The practical effect is to maintain the committee’s membership and enable continued review of standards and assessments within the state education system.
Sentiment
The available record shows broad, noncontroversial support for the resolution. The Senate adopted the measure 38-0, and the recorded vote on third reading was 37 yeas and 0 nays, indicating unanimous or near-unanimous approval. No committee transcripts are available, but the voting history suggests the appointment was routine and unopposed.
Contention
There is no documented substantive contention in the available materials. Because the resolution concerns a single appointment rather than policy changes, any potential disagreement would likely have centered on the nominee’s qualifications or the broader composition of the committee, but no such objections appear in the record. The absence of committee discussion and the unanimous vote indicate that the confirmation was largely procedural.
