Q1: Please explain "Roaming Around the Known."
Clay (2019) states that, "for the first two weeks of the lesson series stay with what the child already knows how to do .... Do not deliberately teach him any new items or behaviors" (p. 29).

🧵The Dept of Ed has proposed rules governing the federal Charter Schools Program grants.
Charter lobbyists & right-wing talking heads are declaring that they are trying to "regulate choices of parents."

What the regulations actually do is ensure that new charter schools receiving the grants are:
➡️ Racially and socio-economically diverse
➡️ Driven by the needs of the community
➡️ Fiscally responsible and transparent, especially regarding for-profit management organizations

Grant applications will require a community impact analysis describing how student demographics are taken into account and ensuring that desegregation efforts would not be negatively impacted.

🧵Charter schools control access, shape enrollment, and effectively pick their students. Rep. McCoy stated that, "This is a public school that must take all comers." That is not what actually happens.

🧵HB9, the charter school bill, passed out of Senate Ed Com today. Rep. McCoy made several statements that don't align with my reading of the bill or my personal conversations.

1⃣ Rep. McCoy stated that, "You can't require local funds to move from one entity to another." However, HB9 does just that.

2⃣ Rep. McCoy stated that it is "only the SEEK portion [of the funding] that is going [to the charter school]."
However, the bill states that state budget and KDE add-on funding must be appropriated to the charter school. These payments are in addition to SEEK funding.

Yesterday a charter school bill was filed in KY. It is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad bill.

We are one of the few states that doesn't have charter schools. In 2017, we passed a bill to allow charters, but it did not include a funding mechanism. There was not much interest in charters without money. So today we don't have any. Zero.

We also don't have any voucher tax credit schemes. Parts of last session's bill were ruled unconstitutional and other issues are not yet resolved. They haven't given up, but at this point KY does not appropriate any tax dollars to private or parochial schools.
