Senator Max Wise: Myths & Facts about SB 1 
Senator Wise presents his case for SB 1Click on headline for complete Personal Commentary By State Senator Max Wise, (R-Campbellsville) 16th District: Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne Counties When I examine the performance of our public schools today, I do so with great distress. At the present time, some 7 out of 10 Kentucky 8th graders do not meet national standards for math, while 2 out of 3 Kentucky 4th graders do not meet national standards for reading. This status quo is simply unacceptable. As a husband and a father of four children, I understand and share the deep concerns of my constituents for the future of the children of this Commonwealth. Parents have told me that a quality public education, which will equip their children with the tools they need to succeed in today's changing economy and allow them to reach their true God-given potential, is their number-one priority. Our Senate Republican Caucus responded and made improving public schools its legislative priority as well. To underscore this point, we filed education reform legislation as Senate Bill (SB) 1. On Wednesday, it passed the State Senate chambers by a resounding 25-12 vote and will now be sent to the House.
