FRANKFORT, Ky. – The Kentucky Supreme Court will hear oral arguments tomorrow in a case that could enable the creation and funding of public charter schools in the commonwealth. The Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions, Kentucky’s leading advocate for education freedom, has released a Frequently Asked Questions brief explaining what public charter schools are and how they operate.
The FAQ brief addresses 12 key questions about public charter schools and the policies that govern them, including:
● How do public charter schools differ from traditional public schools?
● How will teachers fare with the availability of public charter schools?
● Will public charter schools adequately serve students with disabilities?
● Are public charter schools viable in rural areas?
● How do public charter schools impact the traditional public school system?
“Our FAQ brief offers Kentuckians clear, concise information about public charter schools – available to families in 44 other states, including all of Kentucky’s neighbors – and Washington, D.C.,” said Bluegrass Institute President Jim Waters. “Please share this resource with anyone seeking to understand what charter schools are, how they operate and why Kentucky needs them.”
Tomorrow’s hearing will begin at 10 a.m. EDT in Newlin Hall at the Norton Center for the Arts on Centre College’s campus in Danville.
The proceedings will be livestreamed on Kentucky Educational Television’s website here.
