KERA? One State Leader Knows the Truth

In his presentation to the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce yesterday, Kentucky Lieutenant Governor Daniel Mongiardo spoke about the real condition of education in Kentucky. He admitted Kentucky is “not going to meet 2014 goals in KERA” and went on to say our education system needs redesign.

After looking at the disastrously low levels of college preparation in the new ACT results that came out on Wednesday, anyone who would dispute the Lieutenant Governor on KERA’s failure hasn’t a leg to stand on.

And, anyone foolish enough to claim great progress for KERA clearly will get a highly informed argument not just from the Bluegrass Institute, but also from the number two leader in this state.
