[edit] Merge with Kentucky Education Reform Act

Support. Education in Kentucky is a much broader and comprehensive article of which KERA is a small (but important) part of. One addition I would suggest is more information on the 'performance events'. Although it has been a few years, I remember when Brown Middle (a part of the Brown School) in Louisville was one of the highest scoring schools in the state, but at the same time was labeled as under performing because it had not scored as high as it had done in the past.

[edit] Programs of excellence

I am not from Kentucky, so somebody from the state probably knows more than me, but when I studied Western Kentucky University, I found that the state had ruled that every public university would have to establish programs of excellence, which would recieve large amounts of funding (WKU chose forensics and photojournalism). Is this significant to education in Kentucky? 75.46.84.150 20:45, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe this was also part of House Bill 1, but I can't remember the details. Hopefully someone else can expound upon this point. Acdixon 21:32, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
