UPDATE 9:31 p.m. : The Kentucky House has approved legislation authorizing charter schools in the state. The final vote was 53-43. After weeks of not moving, the legislation emerged in a legislative committee Wednesday, passed out of the Senate in the afternoon and the House in the evening. House Minority Leader Rocky Adkins objected to the quick pace of the debate. “For something that is this major, for the public policy of the commonwealth of Kentucky, I think that’s bad business,” he said. “And I don’t think that’s the way we’ve done it on other major reform that has been successful here in the commonwealth of Kentucky.”
