Advocacy & Legislation

The Kentucky Association of School Administrators remains committed to the vision of providing quality elementary and secondary education opportunities for the children of our state. Only with the ongoing leadership and resolve of the legislature can Kentucky live up to its commitment to educational excellence. 

KASA urges the General Assembly to honor our state’s constitutional mandate and restore P-12 education as its highest funding and policymaking priority. If we are to maintain our documented educational improvement, Kentucky must keep pace with the efforts of the nation and the world in assuring our students have access to the highest quality educational opportunities available. 

KASA commits to a partnership with the General Assembly, and with all those who would continue to make the education of Kentucky’s citizens their highest priority, in order to assure them a place in the world economy and the marketplace of ideas. To that end, we propose the following as our Legislative Program for the 2021 session of the Kentucky General Assembly:

KASA's Top Priorities for the 2021 Legislative Session

     1. Increase funding for elementary and secondary education to a level that achieves
         adequacy as required by the Kentucky Constitution

     2. Establish and fund a public preschool program that is open to all three- and four-year
         old's in Kentucky, regardless of income
