Knox County versus Corbin Independent is not about kids

– It’s just about money!

There is a huge brouhaha going on in Knox County, where the county’s public school system is in a mounting fight with the Corbin Independent School District over where kids are choosing to go to school.

Knox County, citing money issues, NOT what is best for kids, is cancelling a long-standing transfer agreement with Corbin Independent that allowed parents in both school systems choice about where their kids attended school. The sudden change isn’t going down well.

Parents are in a combative mood.

They are so angry that they’ve set up a Facebook page and are even posting You Tubes.

Now, Corbin Independent is talking about an appeal to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Just read these articles for yourself.

I certainly don’t see any indication in comments from Knox County that the education of children is of any focus, let alone the primary focus, here.

It’s all about money, pure and simple. Concerns about the best educations for children, once again, aren’t even in the balance.
