Purpose and intent

SR 269 is a Senate resolution that confirms the reappointment of Lu Settles Young to the Kentucky Board of Education. The resolution formalizes the Senate’s approval of the Governor’s executive reappointment and completes the statutory confirmation process required under Kentucky law.

  • Directs the Clerk of the Senate to forward a copy of the resolution and notice of its adoption to Lu Settles Young (of Nicholasville, Jessamine County) and to Governor Andy Beshear (State Capitol, Room 100, Frankfort, KY 40601).

Who is affected

  • Primary: Lu Settles Young — the resolution confirms and authorizes continuation of her service on the Kentucky Board of Education through April 14, 2028.
  • Secondary: Kentucky Board of Education — the board retains continuity in membership and any institutional roles or committee assignments held by Young.
  • Executive and legislative offices — the action completes the formal confirmation step between the Governor’s appointment and legislative approval.

Impact

SR 269 is purely confirmatory and administrative in nature.
