Find Kentucky's open K-12 educational interpreter jobs on this page, with the license rules, school employers, and pay data to know before applying.

One license covers school work

Since July 1, 2003, KRS 309.301 has barred anyone from practicing as an interpreter in Kentucky without a license from the Kentucky Board of Interpreters for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The statute's exceptions cover religious settings, emergencies, unpaid volunteers, students in supervised training, and visitors working fewer than 20 days a year. The list has no school exception, so a district interpreter needs the same license as a community interpreter.

Full license

201 KAR 39:030 grants full licensure on proof of national certification, such as a credential recognized by RID (NAD III excepted), TECUnit certification, or BEI Advanced earned within three years. The EIPA appears only in a grandfather clause: interpreters who earned a full license through an EIPA 3.5 or 4.0 plus the EIPA written test on or before January 1, 2025 keep that status while they renew every year.

Temporary license

Without national certification, you can apply for a temporary license under 201 KAR 39:070. You file a supervision plan signed by a board-approved supervisor. You also prove you passed, within five years, the CGKE, the NIC, or, for K-12 interpreters, the EIPA skills and knowledge assessment. A skills result completes the file, and an EIPA of 3.5 or better from the last three years counts. Temporary status lasts up to five consecutive licensure years, or ten for an interpreter who is deaf or hard of hearing.

Fees and renewal

The fee rule charges a $75 application fee plus $150 for the first license, then $150 a year. Each year you also log continuing education: 15 hours on a full license and 18 on a temporary one, with at least three hours on ethics, per 201 KAR 39:090.

Where Kentucky hires

The General Assembly founded the Kentucky School for the Deaf in Danville in 1823. The Kentucky Department of Education oversees it, and its interpreting department says each staff interpreter holds a full Kentucky license. KSD's jobs page sends applicants for merit positions to the state Personnel Cabinet.

KSD Outreach places consultants around the state who advise districts on interpreting and other supports at no cost to the district. Its employment page gathers district educational interpreter openings and teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing openings in one place. For certified school vacancies, KDE runs the Kentucky Educator Placement Service, linked from its jobs page.

Pay

Kentucky had 480 interpreters and translators at work in May 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, earning a mean of $58,930 a year and a median of $53,590. The bureau's count mixes sign language and spoken-language work across all employers.
