improving Kentucky education

KY school choice bill becomes law! 

Congratulations are in order for thousands of families across the Commonwealth - Kentucky has passed a school choice program! Following last night's vote by both chambers of the General Assembly to override Gov. Beshear's veto on House Bill 563, the legislation officially became law today when it was signed by Secretary of State Michael Adams. Implementation of the program will begin in the coming months. 

The Kentucky House and Senate recently passed the Education Opportunity Account Act through HR 563 which will help more Kentucky families get the best education options and programs for their children. This bill does not detract from current public school student funding while providing struggling families the assistance to receive educational programs, resources, materials and choice options that will help students learn in the environment and with the tools they need.

Supporting public education or school choice is not an either/or situation – both public and nonpublic schools can thrive if we give parents the opportunity to make choices about the resources their child needs.
