On March 14, 1997 twelve home school representatives from Christian Home Educators of Kentucky (CHEK) and the Kentucky Home Education Association (KHEA) and twelve officers and board of directors of the Kentucky Directors of Pupil Personnel Association met to share their views on the status of home schools in Kentucky. From that meeting a task force was formed to address the issues that were raised at that meeting.
The task force was comprised of:
• Joe Adams - Christian Home Educators of Kentucky
• Cheri Fouts - Kentucky Home Education Association
• Louie Hammons - Director of Pupil Personnel (Garrard County)
• Sherwood Kirk - Director of Pupil Personnel (Ohio County)
• David Lanier - Kentucky Home Education Association
• Marilann Melton - Director of Pupil Personnel (Warren County)
• Roger VonStrophe - Director of Pupil Personnel (Newport)
• Don Woolett - Christian Home Educators of Kentucky
David Thurmond, Director of the Division of Planning, who is the nonpublic school liaison for the Kentucky Department of Education, served as a consultant to the task force.
The task force met on a monthly basis for the next three months. This document is a product of their efforts.
On November 14, 2000 a task force was called to review and revise this document. The only revisions updated the section on Home School Resources and added a new section on the Recognition of Credits.
The members of this task force are as follows:
• Joe Adams - Christian Home Educators of Kentucky
• Cindy Green - Kentucky Home Education Association
• Louie Hammons - Director of Pupil Personnel (Garrard County)
• Mike Hughes – Kentucky Home Education Association
