WFPL coverage of this story was interesting, blaming the lack of charter schools for Ky’s non-selection. I wondered who’s agenda this was. Then in NPR’s national story the spokesperson for Colorado said her state had a “robust” charter school program and yet did not get selected. So how important was this, esp. since Tony McVeigh’s story pointed out that Ky already has some of the local control elements that define charter schools. It would have been interesting to have a broader analysis of Kentucky’s proposal and why it was not selected.
