School choice is getting another big push this legislative session and the House.

Two bills have been filed calling for a proposed constitutional amendment allowing for public money to be used for private schools.

State Representative Josh Calloway, a Republican from Irvington, filed his school choice bill, House Bill 208, Earlier this month.

Now, the latest is House Bill two that was filed last week by State Representative Suzanne Miles, a Republican from Owensboro, and the House GOP caucus chair, Friday.

During comment on Kentucky that night, panelists discuss the difference between the two bills and which one House leadership seems to be favoring.

This is the second, but it's the one that leadership appears to be pushing more heavily.

The first bill would have mandated that some money goes toward school choice.

This one says that the legislature has the option of putting public funds towards nonpublic schools.

So we knew that this was coming.

Really?

They've been talking about this for the months leading up to the legislative session.

So we knew a school choice event was coming, obviously for several, several sessions.

Now, Republicans have tried.

They've attempted to put in charter schools to put money towards school vouchers, but those haven't or a school voucher tax credit, I should say school scholarship tax credit.

But those have been unsuccessful.

They've been struck down by the courts so far.

So this is the next attempt to actually change our amendment, our Constitution, through this amendment to allow that.
