The most anti-school voucher county in Kentucky

From the blog post:

[I]t’s safe to say these voters were not interested in their dollars going to private schools.

But far more dominant in the conversations was where the dollars were going to come from—not just from them as taxpayers, but from their public school. That connection back to Robertson County School—and the risk Issue 2 posed to their public school—was key[.]

…

Those I talked to did not think it was a coincidence that Kentucky’s smallest county was also the one that rejected the referendum the most decisively. A few offered that the county’s small size would be a major reason for the decisive “No” vote.

…

Robertson County School is the prized centerpiece of this small community. Its beating heart. And the people of the county feel connected to it in deeply meaningful ways: they graduated there, their kids or grandkids go there, they work there—or worked there. They know and respect those who work there. They respect what the school and those who work there do within and beyond the classrooms.
