41 days to go before Election Day.

You'll see Amendment two on your Kentucky ballot.

That amendment, if passed, would add language to the Kentucky Constitution that could allow the Kentucky General Assembly to pass legislation that would mean public money for private schools.

The group Warren County Conservatives, is working to rally support for the amendment's passage.

They held a community forum last night in Bowling Green explaining how they believe it would benefit Kentucky students.

Our Laura Rogers has a recap, including an interview with a young man who says school choice changed his life.

I was really in an educational environment that didn't work well for me.

Walter Blanks Junior was raised in Columbus, Ohio.

He says the voucher program there helped him attend a small private school where he excelled in the classroom.

I was surrounded by poverty, crime and low expectation where I lived.

And if it weren't for school choice, I don't know where I'd be, but it definitely wouldn't be here talking about this particular issue at a very high level.

That issue is something Kentucky lawmakers could move forward on if Amendment two passes in November.

All it does is free the hands of legislators and teachers, frankly, to formulate Alton.

It pass alternate schools that will serve our kids.

Former Republican Lieutenant Governor Janine Hampton now serves on the board of directors of the Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy.

The definition of insanity is continuing to do what you're doing and expecting different results.

We need to do something a little different because our scores are read.

The reading scores, the math proficiency scores are far lower than they should be.

Explain my experience.

Blanks says he's also concerned by, quote, dismal and disappointing academic outcomes and calls a high quality education the great equalizer.

No matter where you come from, no matter who you are, no matter what your family did beforehand.

If you can be educated.

There is no limit to what you can accomplish in this country.

Blanks, who now lives in Nashville, Tennessee, travels the country advocating for school choice policy.

One system cannot simply fit the needs of every single child.

I'm number two of six kids, and each of us had a different educational journey.

This is such an important issue.

KELLEY Paul is an author and wife to U.S.

Senator Rand Paul, speaking in support of amendment to saying she believes it would help improve public schools, increasing competition to attract and retain students with competition.

I think that public schools might stop spending millions of dollars on bloated administration budgets.

D-I consultants making six figure salary and expensive tech devices and get back to the basics of core subjects.

If those who oppose Amendment two expressed concerns, it will drain funding from the current public school system.

Hampton was asked about administrators claims they'll be forced to do more with less.

I know these are all great arguments that we need to have where the money is coming from because we know that nothing is free.

We know this.

However, there is a cost to Kentucky to the kids, to the parents, to the teachers of continually continually graduating kids who can't read at the proficiency levels that they should.

He as he said.

Blanks says parents and students should be leading the conversation surrounding school choice.

It impacts them directly and then indirectly 20, 30 years from now, it's going to impact our entire society.

Let's vote for Kentucky edition.

I'm Laura Rogers.

Makers in the room.
