All Jefferson County Public School students graduate prepared, empowered, and inspired to reach their full potential and contribute as thoughtful, responsible citizens of our diverse, shared world.

Fifty-five Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) seniors have earned spots as semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program, joining an elite group of high-achieving students across the country.

Representing four JCPS high schools—Atherton, Ballard, duPont Manual, and Eastern—these academically talented seniors now advance to compete for approximately 6,700 National Merit Scholarships awarded next spring.

The semifinalists were chosen based on their performance on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of more than 1.2 million juniors across 20,000 high schools. Representing less than one percent of high school seniors nationwide, this group includes the highest-scoring entrants in Kentucky.

KRS 160.270 requires a local board of education to hold “at least one (1) regular meeting each month, at a time and place fixed by the board.”

The proposed schedule of meetings for 2027 avoids calendar conflicts including major religious and national holidays, school calendar conflicts, election days, and state and national education conferences. The proposed schedule takes into account statutory deadlines for review and approval of the District Annual Draft and Working Budgets.

The proposed schedule continues to have two types of Regular Meetings – Business Meetings and Work Session Meetings.

Regular Board Meetings are open to the public and will begin at 6:00 p.m., and be held in the Stewart Auditorium at the VanHoose Education Center, 3332 Newburg Road, Louisville, KY 40218.

Improving Student Outcomes in Literacy, Numeracy, Well-Being, Attendance, and Behavior

Superintendent Dr. Yearwood, along with Dr. Balasubramanian, Dr. Averette, Dr. Marshall, and Dr. DeFerrari, will present the current state of academics, well-being, attendance, and behavior in the district, and the team’s plan to address the opportunities for improvement.

On September 22, the Board approved the FY27 Internal Audit Plan. That plan was informed by the FY27 Internal Audit Risk Assessment, whose findings open this presentation. Student Achievement and Educational Outcomes ranks among the district’s top five enterprise risks. Internal Audit defines this risk as the District’s ability to improve and sustain academic outcomes and to ensure instructional strategies are carried out effectively.

The assessment also describes the conditions surrounding this work. Leaders reported restructuring (65), budget reductions (61), leadership changes (58), staffing reductions or vacancies (52), and turnover or loss of institutional knowledge (39). These conditions affect several risk areas at once. They are important for understanding current results and for designing improvement work the system can sustain.

The five areas that follow respond directly to the risk leaders identified most often. Literacy and numeracy are the foundation of student success and the clearest evidence of whether instruction is improving learning. Well-being, attendance, and behavior are the conditions that determine whether students are present, engaged, and ready to learn. The team addresses all five as one coordinated plan rather than as separate initiatives.

For each area, the presentation describes current performance, what the evidence shows, and the actions underway or planned. The plan is grounded in the District’s Instructional Vision, which centers on demonstrated student growth. It also responds to KDE’s district improvement priorities: monitoring and adjusting instruction, and evaluating initiatives for both fidelity of implementation and effectiveness. The Next Steps slide lists the team’s commitments, the leaders responsible, and the evidence the Board will receive to monitor progress. Supporting data for each area are in the Appendix.
