  • “The Kentucky Open Records and Open Meetings Acts” explains the provisions of the acts.
  • “Managing Government Records” provides guidance on how to manage public records and how to keep them organized and accessible.
  • “Proof of Receipt” (on the last page of the “The Kentucky Open Records and Open Meetings Acts” document) must be signed by all council members to verify that they have received copies of “The Kentucky Open Records and Open Meetings Acts” and “Managing Government Records.” This signed form is kept on file at the school office.
