KDE WebApps Information
School district personnel must have access to
KDE WebApps to enter data into KDE’s School Bus Incident Reporting Database and School Bus Driver Database. School district personnel must first
register for a WebApps account, complete the steps in the follow-up verification email and then obtain permission through the local district Web Apps Admin Point of Contact (WAAPOC) for local district approval. Once completed, please contact
Monica Napier via email or by calling (502) 564-5279 Ext. 4436 to finalize the registration process.
Database credentials are assigned to a Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) Driver Trainer who is certified and in good standing according to KDE regulations. Trainers must have a contract with the district(s) they are providing services for. If contracted with more than one district, trainers must contact KDE for access to enter data into the KDE Driver Database, including new driver trainer certification, 8-hour updates, and driver medical and license updates. Entering information into the database confirms the completion of a school bus driver's training. By doing so, the trainer attests that they have witnessed or participated in the certification process and that all training requirements have been met.
