LAGRANGE — The five-member board for Oldham County Schools unanimously rejected an Ohio-based nonprofit’s proposal to offer off-campus Bible-based character education during the school day after more than a half-hour discussion Wednesday evening.
Oldham County citizens against LifeWise Academy’s proposal and those who supported the nonprofit’s efforts had been organizing for months ahead of the vote. More than 80 people gathered inside the school district’s Arvin Education Center during the board’s special meeting to discuss the proposal.
