\nThe Kentucky Supreme Court declared a 2022 law that would have allowed public funding to go toward charter schools unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
The law was passed after the state Senate overruled Governor Andy Beshear\u2019s veto in 2022. The commonwealth\u2019s highest court issued its ruling Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Kentucky Education Association said the decision marks a victory for public education.<\/p>\n
Hours after the ruling, a group of state Republican lawmakers filed House Bill 1, which could allow Kentucky to join a federal school choice program created by the Trump administration\u2019s \u201cbig beautiful bill.\u201d<\/p>\n
House Bill 1 is currently being reviewed in committee.<\/p>\n
There are currently no charter schools in Kentucky due to a lack of available funding, but House Bill 1 could create a path to change that.<\/p>\n
Jessica Hiler, KEA vice president, said the KEA opposes the measure.<\/p>\n
Hiler said public schools serve everyone and takes every kid that walks through the door and provides them with a quality education while that is not the case in charters. Charters can pick and choose.<\/p>\n
The KEA said it plans to work alongside lawmakers to improve funding and resources for all Kentucky students.<\/p>\n
Hiler added that the association will respond to any future challenges to public education.
