2024 Senate Bill 93: AN ACT relating to education

This bill aims to prohibit local school districts and public charter schools from indirectly or directly requiring, promoting, or using any programs that aim to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. This bill has the intention of preventing the creation or continuance of exclusion on the basis of discrimination within school environments. This bill also proposes the removal of diversity and race bias teachings from school resource officers required curriculum.

KSVT is not in support of this bill. We believe that keeping diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging teachings in schools is vital to keeping Kenutcky’s K-12 education inclusive to all students. This bill will pose a great danger to Kentucky’s minority students and will further the divisive culture within our school systems.
