Gov. Steve Beshear said Tuesday he wants to explore the possibility of putting creation of charter schools on the agenda of a special legislative session to craft a state budget.
He also said he will be considering for a special session’s agenda the state’s bankrupt unemployment insurance fund and raising the state’s dropout age from 16 to 18.
The issues were discussed in the 60-day regular session that ended last week but were not approved...
Beshear said he is “open on the topic of charter schools.
“I’m willing to have some conversations to see if there may be some way to come to some agreement on that.”
Senate President David Williams, R-Burkesville, said last week that he would like to see the governor include charter schools on a special session call...
Beshear said he has discussed charter schools with state Education Commissioner Terry Holliday, “and we’re going to continue those discussions.
