KSBA’s Amendment 2 FACT CHECK series continues! The claim: Amendment 2 “protects public school funding” and “increases teacher pay.” The facts: Amendment 2 does neither. The amendment gives Ky.'s legislature new authority to direct public tax dollars to private schools. Period.

Today’s agenda (in much more pleasant weather!) included: the Pentagon Memorial, the White House , the Museum of American History, the National Archives, the Spy Museum and Old Town Alexandria Such a great day ❤️🇺🇸 @kedc_epic @KEDCGrants

Another blazing day in DC: laying the wreath at Arlington, the African American history museum and the Holocaust Memorial museum. Plus some memorials. ❤️history❤️ @kedc_epic @KEDCGrants @usedgov

KY students were perfect & honorable representatives of the Commonwealth & their schools as they laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. @kedc_epic @KEDCGrants @DrJWEvansJr

Students (and teachers!) survived walking 6 miles in 98 degrees (felt like 107🥵) for our 1st full day in DC. Air & Space, Capitol, Library of Congress, & memorials 🇺🇸❤️ They’re awesome! @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic @usedgov
