'School choice' already exists in Kentucky. We have 171 public school districts with open enrollment that all play by the same rules.

What will be on the ballot in November is school vouchers that will send state tax dollars to private schools that don't play by the same rules.

“In AZ, the voucher program went from costing $64 million a year to an incredible $900 million a year, with 75% of voucher users having no history of attending public schools. In AR, about 95% and in FL 70% of new voucher users were already enrolled in private schools.”
