Governor Bevin calling for charter school legislation in 2017

WKMS public broadcast radio from Murray State University says that Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin is calling for charter school legislation for the Bluegrass State in 2017.

And, it looks like Kentucky could get financial help to establish charters from the federal government.

Even the Prichard Committee admits that Kentucky’s chronic achievement gaps continue after more than a quarter of a century of education reform. So, it is clear Kentucky needs to try something different – something we have not heard about over and over again for the past quarter of a century.
