Order #2026-32 - Motion Passed:  Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends the Board of Education approve the recognitions for March 10, 2026. The recommendation passed with a motion by Mr. James Craig and a second by Mr. Taylor Everett.

When Bruce Turner, a JCPS SRO, was driving home from his shift, he saw a commotion. An apartment building on Westport Road was filled with black smoke. 

Turner ran into the burning building to help. There was an LMPD officer in the building, and he warned her that the building was going to be engulfed in flames. A few minutes later, it was. 

He said about the event, “I’m not special. Anyone would’ve done the same thing.”

Fortunately, none of the residents inside the building were injured. 

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize JCPS Officer Bruce Turner for springing into action while he was off duty.

Mihira Tangelloju is a sophomore at duPont Manual High School who has been playing jazz piano for about six years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she discovered jazz through YouTube videos and developed a strong interest in the genre, as well as a passion for learning jazz piano. 

This all led to Mihira being named a YoungArts National Competition Award Winner in Jazz Piano. She was selected from thousands of applicants nationwide by a panel of artists through a multi-round evaluation process. 

Every year, thousands of performing, visual, and literary artists aged 15-18 apply to YoungArts through its national competition. Award winners with distinction attend National YoungArts Week to collaborate with peers and develop their crafts with internationally recognized leaders in their fields.

As a YoungArts Award winner, she’ll gain access to national workshops, receive mentorship opportunities, and performance experiences. She’ll also become a part of a network of distinguished young artists. 

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize duPont Manual student Mihira Tangelloju for representing Manual on the national stage.

On November 17, 2025, all 27 Early Childhood locations were recognized for earning Family Friendly Certification through the Pritchard Committee.

Additionally, Dawson Orman was recognized for earning Gold-Level Certification, the highest distinction.

Family Friendly Certification recognizes districts and programs that demonstrate a strong, ongoing commitment to partnering with families in ways that support children’s success and strengthen communities. This recognition reflects intentional work to build trust with families, listen to their perspectives, and make meaningful improvements based on family feedback.

To earn certification, schools and programs must complete a rigorous, multi-step process, including:

• Achieving a Level 3 overall score on the Family Friendly Self-Assessment

• Establishing a Family Engagement Action Team that includes family partners

• Completing professional learning to build a shared understanding of family engagement practices

• Implementing an evaluation process for continuous improvement and outreach

• Submitting evidence of effective family partnerships for external review

This certification process is designed to support continuous improvement and to recognize the important work happening in early childhood programs. Through reflection and intentional partnership, our Early Childhood locations continue to strengthen family engagement practices to ensure environments are welcoming, inclusive, and supportive for all families.

The principals to be recognized are the following:

Heather Brumback - Dawson Orman - Gold Certification

Michelle Seadler - George Unseld Early Childhood

Brian Clark (manager) - Duvalle Education Center

Jasmine Thornton - Westport Early Childhood

Emily Allen - Shacklette and Hazelwood Early Childhood - Split Centers

Andrea Grisby - McFerran and Tully Early Childhood - Split Centers

Kelly Shuff - Thomas Jefferson and Gheens Early Childhood - Split Centers

Ashley Thomas, Stephanie Breedlove, and Melanie French - All EC Elementary Locations 

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize all 27 ECE locations for being Family Friendly Certified.

Shortly after winter break, during lunch time at the J. Graham Brown School, Josh Luttrell noticed a student with their hands close to their neck, displaying the signs of choking. He rushed over to them, and as he describes, gave her three pats on the back, and the mozzarella stick was spit out. 

He says about the action, “We’re trained to do this stuff,” adding that as a coach of two sports at Brown, girls’ basketball and girls’ soccer, those instincts to jump into action “just kick in naturally.” 

He says the best-case scenario is patting on the back, working the first time. 

After the student was taken to the nurse, they went back to lunch and finished their meal.

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize Brown’s Josh Luttrell for saving a student from choking at lunch.

The Male Bulldogs boys’ basketball team took down Saint X to take home the 2025 King of the Bluegrass Holiday Classic trophy. Male sophomore Jordan Mitchell scored a game-high 26 points, which earned him the Bob White Most Valuable Player award. 

The Bulldogs played the preseason top three teams in the state en route to this trophy.

Fairdale High School has hosted the King of the Bluegrass tournament almost every year since 1981, taking off in 2020 due to the pandemic. This is Male’s fourth K.O.B. title and its first since 2007. 

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize Male’s boys’ basketball team for winning the King of the Bluegrass Holiday Classic.

The duPont Manual High School Dazzlers just got back from competing for a national title in Orlando, Florida! The Dazzlers won their seventh consecutive KHSAA state championship, and this year they earned a spot at the National Dance Team Championship. 

The team competed for a national title in Small: Hip-Hop, Pom, and Gameday. 

The Dazzlers won state in Hip-Hop and came in fourth in Gameday, and they won the regional in both categories. 

Head coach Kirstie Adanick has been the head coach for nine years and won two national titles in 2018 and 2020, and the team is consistently ranked in the top 10 nationally for Hip-Hop dance. 

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize The Manual High Dazzlers for winning another state championship and competing for a national title.

duPont Manual High School senior Trisha Paily competed against high school seniors from all over the commonwealth, across all 120 counties, to earn this honor. 

She also won first place in the Overall Interview and Self-Expression category. When you look up “Distinguished Young Women of Kentucky” on Facebook, her face is the profile picture. 

Along with a $7,500 cash scholarship, she’ll also represent Kentucky at the National Distinguished Young Women of America competition this summer in Mobile, Alabama. 

The Distinguished Young Women is the oldest and largest scholarship program for high school girls. Last year, more than $1.4 billion in cash tuition and college-granted scholarships were available nationwide. Last year’s winner received a $35,000 scholarship, and runner-ups received between $5,000 and $10,000 in scholarship money. 

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize Trisha Paily for being selected as the Distinguished Young Woman of Kentucky.

The Magnet Schools of America named the J. Graham Brown School a 2026 Magnet School of Distinction Winner. The category Brown earned its distinction in is Self-Directed Learning Magnet. 

The school earned perfect scores in a number of areas in the criteria to earn this honor. 

To receive a national merit award, members of Magnet Schools of America must submit a detailed application that is scored by a panel of educators. These schools are judged and scored on their demonstrated ability to raise student academic achievement, promote racial and socioeconomic diversity, provide integrated curricula and instruction, and create strong family and community partnerships that enhance the school’s magnet theme.

Brown is invited to Magnet Schools of America’s annual conference in San Diego, where they’ll receive a plaque to commemorate the school’s success.

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize the J. Graham Brown School for being named a 2026 Magnet School of Distinction Winner.

In January, Echo Trail Middle School was named one of the 60 winners of this school year’s NASA TechRise Student Challenge, in the High-Altitude Balloon category. They are the only middle school from Kentucky to earn this honor. 

At the same time, duPont Manual High School was named one of the 60 winners in the Suborbital Spaceship category. 

Next up for Echo Trail and Manual, the teams will turn their proposed science and technology experiment into reality ahead of the NASA-sponsored flight tests this summer. Echo Trail’s experiment will fly on a high-altitude balloon, operated by World View Enterprises of Tucson, Arizona and Manual’s experiment will fly on a suborbital spaceship operated by Virgin Galactic of Tustin, California.

This year, NASA received the highest number of entries, with the winning teams including more than 370 students from 52 states and territories. 

The winning team will each receive $1,500 to build their experiments, a starter kit, including a flight box to help build their experiment, an assigned spot to test their experiment on a NASA-sponsored flight, and technical support during the experiment build phase in May.

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize Echo Trail Middle School as one of the 60 winners of the 2025-26 NASA TechRise Student Challenge.

The student magazines at Pleasure Ridge Park High School, J. Graham Brown School, and Ballard High School have been recognized by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) REALM (Recognizing Excellence in Art and Literary Magazines) Awards.

This is the second straight year PRP has been recognized, and the third straight year Brown has been recognized by this governing body. 

This year, 44 states, Washington D.C., and six countries nominated 456 student magazines, including middle school, high school, and higher education levels. These three schools were the only ones from the entire commonwealth to earn these honors.

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize Pleasure Ridge Park High School’s, Ballard High School’s, and J. Graham Brown School’s student magazines for earning national honors.

An incredible 20 JCPS educators earned National Board Certification in 2025 through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. 

National Board Certification is the most respected professional certification available in education and provides numerous benefits to teachers, students, and schools. It was designed to develop, retain, and recognize accomplished teachers and to generate ongoing improvement in schools nationwide.

At the request of the Board of Education, an independent assessment was conducted to examine the District’s fiscal administration practices and to identify systemic factors contributing to the budget shortfall. The assessment focused on governance, financial management, budgeting and forecasting practices, procurement and contract oversight, and related controls, with the objective of identifying root causes, structural risks, and areas for improvement rather than evaluating individual programs or making specific budget reduction decisions. Plante Moran was engaged to perform this work and will present the results of its assessment.

Pursuant to Board Policy, Internal Audit initiated a review of the District’s school-based cell phone policy implementation to assess mid-year implementation progress and fidelity. The review focuses on whether key procedural requirements and implementation expectations established by the Board and administration have been followed across schools, including policy adoption, communication, and required approvals.

The mid-year report is intended to provide the Board with an interim, high-level assessment of implementation status and consistency, identify areas where additional clarification or support may be needed, and inform ongoing implementation efforts. This review does not evaluate disciplinary outcomes or enforcement impacts; those elements are planned for consideration as part of the year-end review once a full implementation period has occurred.
