School Funding and Student Outcomes
On July 16, 2019, the Board approved the creation of the Revenue Advisory Task Force. Since then, the Task Force has been engaged in developing a stronger understanding of the District’s need for additional funding to address critical facility, instructional, student support, and other program needs.
Revenue Advisory Task Force included twenty seven (27) members:
- 8 representatives of community organizations
- 7 constituents
- 5 school funding experts
- 2 teacher representatives
- 2 state legislators
- 2 JCPS Board Members
- 1 business partner
- Dr. Pollio and several staff members from the Finance department
The Task Force held five 90-minute meetings (October 10, October 28, November 11, November 25, December 9, 2019), and presented to the full Board twice (December 10, 2019, and January 28, 2020).
This Work Session represents the culmination of the work of the Task Force. It will address the relationship between school funding and how it is utilized with student outcomes; school funding challenges; revenue trends; comparisons of JCPS revenue and school funding with other Kentucky districts; and the benefits to the community of increased revenue to support public education.
