This is interesting. Kentucky parents and citizens now can search a single web site to find out the credentials of every public school teacher in the state using the Kentucky Educational Professional Standards Board (EPSB) Teacher Certification Inquiry web site. The site displays each teacher's certificates and diplomas as well as the subjects and grade levels they are authorized to teach. Obviously the site raises privacy issues, but also equity issues: why can't I see the credentials of my bank staff, for example, or the people responsible for maintaining the city water supply?CRLF
