The National Alliance for Public Schools honored 16 bipartisan State and Federal Lawmakers with the 2022 Champion for Charter Schools Award, recognizing these leaders’ commitment as lawmakers to seeing charter schools thrive and expand in their state and across the US.
The National Alliance celebrates the Kentucky Legislature’s override of Governor Andy Beshear’s veto of HB 9, a landmark bill that makes major improvements to the state’s charter school law by most notably providing a permanent funding mechanism for charter schools.
“The Idaho Legislature adjourned March 31 yielding mixed results for charter schools in one of the nation's fastest growing states,” says Blake Youde, Executive Director of the Idaho Charter School Network.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear unwisely vetoed HB 9, a landmark bill that would have made major improvements to the state’s charter school law, most notably by providing a permanent funding mechanism for charter schools.
