The libertarian-leaning Americans for Prosperity Kentucky held a panel discussion regarding the amendment.
Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions CEO Jim Watters said the amendment doesn't dictate what policy would follow, only that it would open up another avenue for parents who want more choices when it comes to their child's education.
Waters also argued the move could help with stubborn disparities.
"So we still have these wide gaps between black and white students. We have widening gaps between haves and have nots. When when we look around the country, what we've seen has worked is giving parents the opportunity to choose a school that works best for their child," Waters told Spectrum News.
The discussion arrives in the middle of statewide campaigns for and against the amendment.
The left-leaning Kentucky Center for Economic Policy conducted a study of other voucher programs across the country, in which it found that 65 to 90% of the cost would likely subsidize families already sending their children to private schools or who are planning to do so.
Gov. Andy Beshear and public school advocates have come out strong against the measure, saying it would siphon public dollars away from public schools.
The question will be on the ballot for Kentucky voters to decide this fall.
