Kentucky
Kentucky is one of the nine states left without a charter school law. Even if the legislation could get out of the initial introduction phase, incumbent governor Steven Beshear wouldn’t support it. Beshear has been called the greatest education governor by the NEA, and based on his record of sticking with the status quo, it’s not hard to see why. Republican candidate David Williams has vocalized support for charter schools and performance pay, but it’s hard to get a read on Independent Gatewood Galbraith’s views on education.
