State legislators passed a bill earlier this year which will now give Kentuckians the opportunity to vote on Amendment 2. Voting in favor of Amendment 2 allows the Kentucky general assembly to pass educational policies such as a school choice program.
It is with deep concern that our children are not getting properly educated, especially within inner-city school systems where many of the children are left unable to read or write.
The future of Kentucky will look bleak if this amendment is not passed.
• If we don’t work together statewide to create a workable, competitive, and well-financed education system the price we pay will be catastrophic.
• If our children continue to leave school without a proper education to join our modern workforce, they will not be able to support themselves, or their families. Instead of being a future burden, they can be an asset.
• Businesses will continue to overlook Kentucky because of our lack of an educated workforce. They will relocate and expand to our neighboring states which all have school choice programs.
• We must have a competitive education system that properly pays our teachers to educate our children.
We must all work together for the benefit of our children and the future of our state and local communities with proper financing to pay our teacher and educate our children.
We desperately need to support and vote yes on amendment 2 to save Kentucky’s future.
