The Kentucky School for the Blind (KSB) is an educational facility for blind and visually impaired students from Kentucky who are aged up to 21.[3][4][5] The school provides a dormitory setting for its students.[6]

KSB is a member of the North Central Association of Schools for the Blind (NCASB).[7] It receives no basic school funding from the state government, and instead must "rely on money from the state’s general fund."[8][9][10]

History

Bryce McLellan Patten founded the Kentucky Institution for the Education of the Blind in 1839 in Louisville, Kentucky.[11] In 1842, it was chartered as the Kentucky Institution for the Blind by the state legislature as the third state-supported school for the blind established in the United States.[11] In 1855, it moved to its present location on Frankfort Avenue in the Clifton neighborhood.[11][12] About this time, it was renamed the Kentucky School for the Blind.[citation needed]

The school separated African-American students under de jure educational segregation until it desegregated circa 1954.[13]

In 2018, an ex-principal of the school accused the Kentucky Board of Education of gender discrimination.[14]

Notable alumni

Grammy winning bluegrass fiddler Michael Cleveland is a previous student of the facility.[15] Another previous student became a notable advocate for others with visual impairments.[16]
