This is not intended as any sort or yay or nay political post; just discusses a pending budget proposal.

The Trump White House and Pentagon are mulling over a budget proposal to discontinue operating 47 elementary, middle and high schools in the continental US and sending those 20,000 affected students to local schools. The defense dept would continue to operate schools outside the USA.

The unanswered question is whether the local school systems would continue to operate the schools on military posts and bases, or if students would be transported to local public schools.

In Ky - the primary impact would be the closure or merger of Fort Campbell and Fort Knox high schools.

This is still is the talking stages and Ky's congressional delegation has always been able to beat down such proposals that have periodically arisen in previous years. Not sure how long this link will last, but it is working now.
