A RESOLUTION confirming the reappointment of Jacqueline Colleen Mayfield to the Education Professional Standards Board.
Summary
SR240 is a Senate resolution confirming the reappointment of Jacqueline Colleen Mayfield to the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board. The resolution states that Governor Andy Beshear reappointed Mayfield on July 24, 2025, for a term ending June 30, 2028, and that she meets the statutory requirements for the board seat representing elementary school teachers.
The measure does not change substantive education law or create new regulatory requirements. Instead, it completes the Senate’s confirmation role for a gubernatorial appointment under KRS 161.028 and formally authorizes Mayfield to continue serving on the board that helps oversee educator standards and certification in Kentucky.
Impact
The bill’s effect is limited to personnel confirmation: it maintains the membership of the Education Professional Standards Board by confirming one reappointment. It does not amend KRS 161.028 or other statutes, but it ensures continued representation for elementary school teachers on the board and allows the appointee to serve through the stated term.
Sentiment
The available voting history shows strong bipartisan or unanimous support, with the resolution adopted 38-0 and a recorded Senate third-reading vote of 37-0. There is no committee transcript indicating opposition or debate, suggesting the reappointment was viewed as routine and noncontroversial.
Contention
No notable contention appears in the available record. Because the resolution concerns a single board reappointment and the Senate vote was unanimous, there is no evidence of disagreement over the nominee, the board’s composition, or the underlying statutory framework. Any potential interest would likely be limited to the broader policy role of the Education Professional Standards Board in educator licensing and standards, but that issue was not contested here.
