A few weeks ago I wrote posts here and here on House Bill 37, passed by the Kentucky General Assembly this year, which gives schools and districts the opportunity to apply for "innovation" status. These districts would theoretically be given more freedom from onerous regulations so they can innovate creative new approaches to instruction and the structure of schooling.
A version of one of my blog posts appears in today's Lexington Herald-Leader, where I argue that while HB 37 may have its merits, schools already have broad leeway to "innovate," and at any rate, the law does not serve as a viable alternative to charter schools as its proponents suggest. You can read the whole thing here.
