Good! I'm sure those opposed to charter schools are meeting as well...they have their own agenda for the upcoming session.
Glad to see these forums are being held. Our children deserve a better chance at an education that will help them succeed in the future. Maybe these forums will help people see the need for school choice in Kentucky.
