House Bill 9 Introduced
Evan • March 16, 2022
On March 1, 2022, House Bill 9 (HB9) was introduced in the Kentucky House of Representatives. KASS strongly opposes this short-sighted and misguided bill, and as it is currently written would harm our schools and communities. If signed into law, House Bill 9 would:
- Allow companies outside of Kentucky to dictate their own educational philosophy on our schools without any accountability or transparency.
- Let those same companies get rich off students and our tax dollars – owning buildings, technology and additional assets paid for by Kentucky taxpayers.
- Unravel Kentucky’s unique athletic landscape , creating winners and losers and leading to ‘superpowers’ that would completely destroy the much beloved Kentucky Basketball Sweet 16 tournament – not to mention the spirit of competition in every sport.
