Education should create an
environment that empowers students to fulfill their unique potential throughout their lives continually. Parents understand better than
anybody who their kids are and what they need. I am writing to ask you to listen
to the growing voice of parents and families in Kentucky who are
asking for a change to the current school model and support the Students First
Constitutional Amendment (HB 174).
A
recent Mason-Dixon poll showed that the Commonwealth overwhelmingly supported
the idea of a School Choice Constitutional Amendment. Kentuckians
across ages, genders, and regions support an amendment enshrining school choice
opportunities into the Commonwealth’s constitution.
The
state of Kentucky consistently falls short in educating our students. Our state
ranks below average in testing and educational rankings. Mediocrity is not
acceptable for our children. Something must change! We believe every child is unique
and deserves the opportunity to flourish.
Across
the nation, states support educational freedom, including Arizona,
Florida, Iowa, Utah, and West Virginia. Now is the time to remove the barriers to
comprehensive learning and empower families to design a learning environment as
unique as their children.
Kentucky
legislators are now considering H.B. 174, The Students First Constitutional
Amendment. We ask that you co-sponsor and vote “YES” on HB 174 to help every
student thrive. We must empower Kentucky families to put their children in a
classroom as unique as they are.
