Charter Schools Still Possible
We've written much about the budget which is the overriding focus of the final two days of session, but the other big issue still on the table is whether to finally allow school choice in Kentucky.
We wrote recently about Education Commissioner Terry Holliday's statement that House Democrats had torpedoed Kentucky's chance at funding because they are beholden to the teacher's union, and the union thinks they are the only entity that should have any authority over Kentucky's school system.
What we are left with is the rare situation where the House Democrats's insatiable appetite to spend money may lead them to override their political alliances and actually enact a good change in public policy.
