House Bill 174 – Pro-Educational Choice Constitutional Amendment

Friends,

Representative Josh Calloway has filed the Students First Amendment (House Bill 174) which would put a pro-educational choice constitutional amendment on the ballot for Kentucky voters to decide.  If passed, it would allow the General Assembly to support all Kentucky students, regardless of whether they attend a public or a non-public school.

Contact Your State Representative

The Students First Amendment is needed due to a Kentucky Supreme Court decision that blocked the state legislature from passing educational choice programs.  Even worse, the Court’s decision was so broad that it could lay the groundwork for overturning existing programs used by Kentucky families, such as public bus transportation for non-public school students.

If you believe that all families in Kentucky deserve support when it comes to educating their children, please contact your state representative and leave a message asking him or her to co-sponsor and pass House Bill 174. You can leave a message by phone Monday through Friday by calling 1-800-372-7181.  You can also email your state representative by clicking here.

Thank you for your advocacy on behalf of Kentucky students.

 

Sincerely,

Andrew Vandiver
