The stated goal of the Kentucky Long-Term Policy Research
Center is to provide decision-makers with context for,

planning, and information dissemination to government
and the public. In this way, Center staff and board

way in which those in power make choices. One of the
areas that the Center studies is education, and its
reports
are available online. The Center's Board encompasses
a cross-section of the Kentucky political spectrum,
including business leaders, advocates, and local and
