Even local newspaper isn’t buying school board’s anti-charter stance

We just got an interesting “vote” for charter schools. It will come as a shock to the Elizabethtown Independent School Board.

Even the local newspaper’s editors in Elizabethtown are not buying their local school board’s bias against charter schools.

In “Time to charter a different course,” the News-Enterprise newspaper in Elizabethtown clearly says it’s time to start bringing school choice to at least some areas of Kentucky.

The newspaper’s editorial stands in sharp contrast to the opinion of the local school board. Jim Waters wrote several weeks ago about the publicly expressed hostility of the Elizabethtown Independent Board of Education to bringing any charter schools to Kentucky. The board’s formal vote against charter schools raised some eyebrows at the time.

Now, it looks like the E’Town board didn’t even convince its local newspaper.
