Here's one story about charter schools & HB9 that is tough to tell, but important to understand.

Once the camel's nose is under the tent, the amount of outside political $$ that will come into KY to get pro-charter legislation through Frankfort will severely warp our elections. The companies "sweep" tax dollars into their accounts and then expend political donations against that to fund pro-charter candidates. Here is just one example from FL.

"Over the 20 years... [they've] spent millions on political races, PACs and parties"

If you live in the bright red, your state rep was one of the 51 who narrowly voted to use your tax dollars to fund unproved, under-regulated charter schools via HB 9.

Please share your displeasure with them (1-800-372-7181) & tell them to stop HB9 / abandon any veto override. Kentucky is one of only six states that need a simple majority in the legislature to override a Governor’s veto.

Even if HB 9 passes the Senate, it only only takes a handful of reps to back off the bill and let @GovAndyBeshear’s near-certain veto stand.

If we could get through this week without off-loading millions in KY taxpayer funds to for-profit charter school management companies…

….that’d be greeeeeeat. #kyga22 Context: KY still doesn’t fully fund, among others:
📌 Transportation to school
📌 Textbooks
📌 Kindergarten
And we’re talking about how KY’s public schools are irredeemably broken? Y’all…

Do you realize that Kentucky actually punches well above its weight class in education?
