IV.A. Update on District Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Rationale

In response the COVID-19 pandemic, JCPS students have spent the first semester of this academic year learning remotely under Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI). District leadership has closely monitored data regarding COVID-19 in our community, and has relied upon evolving guidance from local, state, and national officials for an appropriate response for PreK-12 education. New information and guidance arrive frequently, and the Superintendent must keep the Board, JCPS staff and families, and the community informed regarding the planning and implementation of the District’s response.

This Information Item will address areas where new developments have arisen, or are forthcoming. These broad topics are the same as in previous recent updates. As weeks pass, however, new information is received, and the context for District decision making changes, making regular updates critically important.

  • Update regarding current level of COVID-19 infection in Louisville in relation to guidance from Governor Andy Beshear regarding parameters for the recommencement of in-person learning.
