Kentuckians will vote this November on Amendment 2. If approved, it would change the Constitution to allow the allocation of public funds for school choice options beyond public schools. The executive secretary of the Council for Better Education says it would allow public funds for vouchers to pay tuition at private schools with little to no accountability to taxpayers. Tom Shelton says it would widen inequality gaps, and cause already struggling public schools to cut resources and staff. Supporters say it would increase opportunities for school choice for parents who could not otherwise afford private schools.
