Good article by @KevinWheatleyKY with great quotes by @KYHouseGOP Majority Floor Leader @BamCarney #KYGA19

I agree with everything Leader Carney said in this story.

@HumphreyBarry @cwalts13 @JColemanKY Noble, KIPP, Success Academy, Democracy Prep... some of the most replicated models serving the kids and communities you’re talking about. Growing, not closing. Try this, lots of good internal links too: https://t.co/ZjirsQRSxh

@BGDN_edbeat @bgdailynews Or maybe we should open ourselves to schooling models that can, and do, provide a high-quality education with the funds we have—often even less.

@HumphreyBarry @JColemanKY Then “everyone knows” wrong. Many charter schools “in poverty stricken areas” are among the most the most successful public schools in the country. And KY’s law requires all charter teachers to be certified.

[Wayne D. Lewis, Jr. @WayneDLewis]

Kids can’t be assigned to KY public charter schools. Parents would have to choose to enroll their kids, and if there are no kids, no funding follows kids to charters.
Is it KY parents you would believe to be ‘siphoners’ of public funding? I call them taxpayers. #RespectKYParents

[KY Dept of Education @KyDeptofEd]

In new op-ed, @WayneDLewis says everything @KyDeptofEd does should be aligned to student outcomes, including closing achievement gaps, ensuring the youngest students are acquiring literacy and numeracy skills & revising high-school graduation requirements. https://t.co/DC1PtVz6ER

@kentuckyBGT We do support our district public schools, but not JUST them. We support tools that are evidenced to improve public education and better serve kids being left behind by our current system, i.e. public charters. The rest of your conjecture is baseless and horribly misguided.

Thanks to the KY Senate for keeping the promise of last year’s session. This is one more step toward high-quality educational options for every student. We look forward to the results of the conference committee, and we are excited to get to work educating KY’s next generation.

[KY Public Charter Schools @KYCharters]

@kentuckyBGT You should really read the law. It’s obvious you haven’t.

[KY Public Charter Schools @KYCharters]

@marlanaevans80 @kentuckyBGT @racheleverachel Same EPSB certified teachers. Competitive wages. I hear from current Kentucky public school teachers all the time who are looking forward to the opportunity to teach in a charter school. Thanks for your concern.

@JenniferClark32 All kids.

[KY Public Charter Schools @KYCharters]

@QueenMamaBee12 You seem confused about what public charter schools are. They cannot charge tuition and must accept all comers, just like every other public school.

[KY Public Charter Schools @KYCharters]

@SHill71 Read the law.

[KY Public Charter Schools @KYCharters]

@JenniferClark32 Interesting perspective, but based on what? Charters provide options to kids who have none today.

[KY Public Charter Schools @KYCharters]

@tlsal Yes, especially those students. #readthelaw #readtheregs

[KY Public Charter Schools @KYCharters]

@kydmw86 How so? (Hint: they don’t) #readthelaw #readtheregs
