Here is a neat video about a North Carolina charter high school that recently sent 100 percent of its first graduating class on to college.
This isn’t a private school. It isn’t in an exclusive area, either. The school is in a high poverty area and has many minority kids.
Kentucky needs this sort of performance in its schools, too.
But, we first need to pass a law to allow charter schools.
Kentucky’s new education commissioner knows about charter schools – he came to us from North Carolina. Let’s get a charter school law in Kentucky so he can help bring this sort of success to our kids.

I hope you get them. You should also look to Tennessee. They have 20 or so charter schools, most of which are doing incredibly well. A couple have won Top Title I schools for the entire state, of which there are roughly 1,000 Title I schools.
Charter schools will bring some much needed reform to Kentucky in a very thoughtful way.
