2024 House Bill 2: AN ACT proposing to create a new section of the Constitution of Kentucky relating to education funding

This bill proposes an amendment to the Kentucky Constitution that would enable the General Assembly to give funding to K-12 students outside of public schools. Voters in the Commonwealth could then vote to ratify or reject the amendment. The Secretary of State will also ensure that the entirety of the amendment is published in a newspaper prior to the amendment's appearance on the ballot.

KSVT is not in support of this bill because Kentucky should be focused on improving the already inadequate funding for public schools and disparities across school districts, rather than diverting money to private schools. This could lead to decreased quality in public education, therefore hurting low-income students who don’t have the means to attend private schools.
