Yes on Amendment 2 FAQ
Kentucky already funds private and nonprofit organizations for essential services like child welfare and medical care, using proven programs to deliver results. Extending this approach to education will foster healthy competition where the ultimate winners are the students themselves—because a child’s education can shape their entire future.
This election you will see a constitutional amendment on the ballot, giving Kentuckians the opportunity to weigh-in on much-needed changes. By striking language from the state’s constitution that dates to the 1800s, it would allow legislators to explore more options for funding education initiatives in addition to and outside of our traditional public schools.
Nationally, this will help Kentucky compete with neighboring states that have already embraced educational choice in various forms. It will ensure that, regardless of economic status, every student can attend a school that best fits their needs.
Any specific policies resulting from this amendment would still need to pass through the legislative process with careful research, debate, and voting. One thing is clear: it will greatly benefit our Catholic schools. We firmly believe that voting ‘yes’ means putting students first.
