Race to the Top: Exit interview with Billy Harper: Part Five

The Bluegrass Institute recently sat down to talk about public education in Kentucky with Billy Harper, who recently completed a four-year term on the Kentucky Board of Education.

In this fifth segment, Harper discusses the Obama Administration’s Race to the Top stimulus-funding program and some of its impacts in Kentucky even though the commonwealth did not win any of the early RTTT competitions.

Also in this interview segment, Harper says that while charter schools may not be the panacea for all of Kentucky’s education challenges, they are “another tool in the arsenal that – definitely – Kentucky needs.”
