The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is accepting applications for the School Counselor Advisory Council.
This advisory group plays a critical role in informing statewide school counseling initiatives, policies and guidance by elevating the voices and expertise for practitioners from across the Commonwealth.
Selected members will serve a three-year term, with the inaugural term beginning in the 2026-2027 school year.
Advisory council members will collaborate with KDE staff and key stakeholders to provide feedback, identify emerging needs, and help shape resources and professional learning that directly impact students and school counselors statewide.
The advisory council meets virtually three times per year, and consistent attendance and active participation are essential to ensuring the work is meaningful, representative and impactful.
To ensure alignment with school and district priorities, applicants must obtain the support of their building principal prior to applying. This support affirms the principal’s awareness of the time commitment associated with advisory council participation and their endorsement of the school counselor’s involvement in this statewide leadership opportunity.
The application, which is due by April 15, can be completed through the School Counselor Advisory Council application form.
