158.005 Definition of "character education."

As used in KRS Chapters 156 and 158, unless the context requires otherwise, "character

education" means instructional strategies and curricula that:

(1) Instill and promote core values and qualities of good character in students including

altruism, citizenship, courtesy, honesty, human worth, justice, knowledge, respect,

responsibility, and self-discipline;

(2) Reflect the values of parents, teachers, and local communities; and

(3) Improve the ability of students to make moral and ethical decisions in their lives.
