Talking up charter schools for Kentucky

Over at the Kentucky School News and Commentary Blog (KSN&C), they are really starting to talk up charters. Within the last couple of days, the site has posted an interesting list of considerations if Kentucky sets up charter legislation and made comments that Kentucky could be at a strong competitive disadvantage for second-tier education stimulus money if we don’t enact charter legislation.

KSN&C also doesn’t buy the word put out by Kentucky Governor Beshear and Kentucky Education Secretary Helen Mountjoy that our School Based Decision Making Councils are a suitable substitute for charter schools. Like us, KSN&C sees right through that terribly misguided comparison.
