Senator McConnell Comments on Passage of Charter Schools Legislation in Kentucky

Statement

U.S Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following comments today regarding passage of charter schools legislation in Kentucky:

"I applaud the Kentucky General Assembly for passing charter school legislation. The flexibility offered by public charter schools encourages teachers and administrators to use good judgment in innovative ways to produce positive results for Kentucky children. Most importantly, public charter schools give parents additional options when selecting the school that is right for their child, particularly when they feel the needs of their child aren't being met through the traditional public school model. We all know that parental involvement in the education of a child is of primary importance, which is why I support policies that empower parents with expanded options for meeting the education needs of their children."
