First: a win’s a win. It’s good to see #schoolvouchers stopped anywhere. The push to privatize is so relentless, so well-funded by such a narrow swath of backers, it can feel like swinging in the dark against it.

Catching up on the #KYed news from today:
1. The Kentucky Board of Education is moving forward with four candidates in its hunt for a new commissioner.
We will likely know the names of the finalists before the Fourth of July weekend.

2. @JCPSSuper held a briefing and said the district is still considering its reopening options.

3. Just two people spoke at a public hearing about new elementary school proposed at 18th and West Broadway.
One, the librarian at Wheatley Elementary, said she wants to make sure that if there is a shiny, new school, her students get to enroll there.
