Current Narrative:
The KWSB Policy 5-00-00 issued July 1, 2016 provides the requirements and processes for developing new policies such as those required for the implementation of WIOA. The policy details that a state subject expert drafts a policy to be reviewed and considered by the KWSB Alignment Committee. The Committee by majority vote accepts the policy and approves its distribution for Public Comment or it rejects the draft and asks for modification of the draft.
After the public comment period, comments are reviewed by the subject expert and any changes resulting from the comments are made. The new draft then returns to the Alignment Committee for final vote. If the policy draft is approved by the Committee, it makes a recommendation to the full KWSB at its next scheduled Quarterly Meeting to adopt the policy. If the KWSB adopts the policy, it is posted on the KWSB website and distributed to workforce system partners and other interested parties. If the policy is rejected by the KWSB, state staff modifies the policy draft per KWSB direction and starts the procedure again, or removes the policy from further consideration.
The state expert has been identified and a draft policy statement will be provided to the Alignment Committee during its November 2016 meeting. If the policy draft is approved, it will be posted for public comment and finalized during the January 2017 State Board meeting.
