Telling Our Story KY
THE POWER OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS EVIDENT IN THE STORIES WE TELL
The story of public education in Kentucky truly began in 1891 when Section 183 of our Commonwealth’s constitution was ratified, requiring our General Assembly to “provide for an efficient system of common schools throughout the state.” Roughly 100 years later, that story reached another pivotal chapter when the Kentucky Supreme Court, in deciding 1989’s Rose v. Council for Better Education, reinforced that mandate and paved the way for historic education reforms. Bottom line: public schools have long been considered essential to Kentucky's future.
