KY Teachers Furious Over Guv Vetoing School Funding Bill Set To Rally Again

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky teachers who rallied last week at the state Capitol to support education funding plan to be there again Friday when state lawmakers reconvene to consider overriding the Republican governor’s veto of budget and revenue measures.

The Kentucky Association of School Superintendents has encouraged local school leaders statewide to send delegations to the rally in Frankfort, said Tom Shelton, the group’s executive director. Shelton acknowledged Tuesday that “closing school may be necessary if they have too many staff absent, but that is a local decision.”

In Trimble County, the school district said on its Facebook page that classes would be canceled Friday in the northern Kentucky district to allow teachers and staff to join the rally.

In Lexington, Fayette County schools Superintendent Manny Caulk signaled he would lead the contingent of teachers and staff from the state’s second-largest school district.
