Work Session: Discussion of Draft 2016 Legislative Agenda
I. Work Session: 2016 Legislative Agenda
Rationale

Audio: 11 9 2015 Work Session 3

The Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly convenes on January 5, 2016. Jefferson County Public Schools functions within the statutory framework established by General Assembly, so the actions of the legislature have a significant impact on the district’s work. In additional, the General Assembly will consider the State Executive Branch Budget for the 2016-2018 biennium.

On September 28, 2015, the Board held a work session to discuss policy positions on issues that are important to the district and are likely to be addressed during the 2016 legislative session. Revised drafts of the 2016 Legislative Agenda were discussed at a work session held on October 12, 2015, and at the October 26, 2015 Board meeting.

At this work session, the Board will review and discuss a revised draft 2016 Legislative Agenda, developed based on input received at the previous work sessions.

After discussion at the work session, the 2016 Legislative Agenda will be an action item during the November 9, 2015 Board of Education meeting.
