• James Craig _ Letter of Resignation

At this meeting, the Board shall elect a Vice-Chairperson from among its members.

Attaining Model Academy status with the National Career Academy Coalition (NCAC) is a major milestone for a high school career academy. It essentially means the program has been independently vetted and recognized for implementing the "gold standard" of career-themed education. Attaining Model with Distinction status means a school has reached the absolute pinnacle of the National Career Academy Coalition’s ranking system. If "Model" status means you are hitting the gold standard, "Model with Distinction" means your program is implementing and executing at the highest level the organization gives.

The NCAC review evaluates academies using 10 strict research-based standards. To hit "Model" status, an academy must prove it highly adheres to all of them, which include:

• A Small Learning Community (SLC): A dedicated cohort of students who take classes together with a core team of teachers, creating a "school within a school" feel.

• Integrated Curriculum: Academic classes (like English or Math) are explicitly woven together with a specific career theme (e.g., Engineering, Health Sciences, or Business).

• Strong Partnerships: Active involvement from local employers, community partners, and higher-education institutions to provide internships, mentoring, and dual-credit options.

JCPS is once again offering free meals for kids this summer, helping ensure children throughout Jefferson County have access to food when school is not in session. JCPS School and Community Nutrition Services (SCNS) is operating dozens of meal sites across the county, including schools, local parks, community partner sites, and even mobile routes to meet kids and families right where they are. The meal sites are open weekdays from May 27 to July 24. 

For families living in more rural areas who may face transportation barriers, SCNS has established three drive-through bulk distribution sites at Echo Trail Middle School, the Evangel World Prayer Center, and the PRP Fire Training Center. Every Friday through July 31st, staff are distributing prepackaged meal boxes containing seven breakfasts and seven lunches per child.

The program is fully funded through USDA federal dollars and does not use district funds. Meals are available to all children 18 years of age and younger, not just JCPS students.

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize JCPS School and Community Nutrition Services for providing free meals for students during the summer.

As JCPS celebrates Pride Month this June, the district is proud to recognize the leadership and impactful work of the JCPS LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee.

JCPS is deeply committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and inclusive educational environment for every individual. District policy explicitly affirms educational excellence regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. However, turning those policy words into a daily reality for our students, families, and staff requires intentional, year-round effort. That is exactly what this committee provides.

The LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee works tirelessly to ensure that every student sees themselves reflected, respected, and protected in our schools. Over the past year, this committee has spearheaded several initiatives:

• The Rainbow Ribbon Schools Program: An innovative initiative that recognizes and awards JCPS schools and departments that actively go above and beyond to cultivate safe, supportive, and identity-affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ students, families, and staff.

• Expanding Safe Spaces Across All Grade Levels: The committee has championed the growth of Gender-Sexuality Alliances (GSAs) in middle and high schools, as well as the expansion of Rainbow Clubs in elementary schools. 

• Staff and Community Support: Through the Pride Employee Resource Group (ERG) and robust professional development pathways, the committee ensures staff is equipped to be effective upstanders and allies.

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize the JCPS LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee in honor of Pride Month this June.

A simple birthday wish turned into an extraordinary outpouring of kindness for one JCPS student.

Seven-year-old JCPS student Henry Jones was awaiting a heart transplant at Norton Children’s Hospital in April. For his birthday, his dad jokingly challenged him to collect 500 birthday cards. Henry was determined to do it, and when he shared that goal with his Home/Hospital teacher, Anne Kelly, she immediately got to work.

Anne shared the wish with Home/Hospital Supervisor Natasha Rice, who brought a stack of blank cards to the next Exceptional Child Education (ECE) leadership team meeting. The response was instant. Within minutes, the team hand-crafted over 50 personalized cards filled with messages, drawings, and gift cards.

But they didn't stop there. They spread the word, and on his special day, Henry didn't just meet his goal—he completely shattered it. More than 500 birthday cards arrived at the hospital, giving Henry a tangible daily reminder that an entire community was cheering for him.

Superintendent Brian Yearwood recommends that the Board of Education recognize ECE staff who went above and beyond to support a JCPS student.

JCPS 'Literacy &' camps successfully operated at nine locations, serving hundreds of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students throughout Louisville this month. 

Coordinated by the Diversity, Equity, and Poverty (DEP) Department, “Literacy &” camps seamlessly connect rigorous, standards-based literacy instruction with meaningful character-building opportunities. Students dove into grade-level-appropriate books, but the lessons extended far beyond the pages. Every book’s theme was paired with an exciting hands-on activity—ranging from sports and science to chess, robotics, and the arts.

By blending critical reading skills with high-interest enrichment, this program prevents summer learning loss while proving that education can be both joyful and purposeful.

Thank you to program coordinator Bryan Smith and the phenomenal team of teachers, staff members, and site leaders who worked across these nine camps this year.

Indirect costs are expenditures in support of programs that are not directly identifiable to that program. The Kentucky Department of Education calculates the allowable percentage that may be applied to grants so the district may be reimbursed for a portion of the support expenses incurred.

For fiscal year 2026-27, the non-restricted indirect cost rate is 17.54 percent; the recommended rate to be applied to food service is to maintain the current rate of 13.19 percent. The restricted indirect cost rate of 4.44 percent is for use with grants. Each local board of education is encouraged to approve the rates prior to October 1, which is the beginning of the federal fiscal year.

If the rate is not approved by October 1, the district cannot apply the rate at a later time during the fiscal year. If the Board adopts the rates, they are not obligated to apply the indirect cost rates.

During fiscal year 2025-26, the non-restricted indirect cost rate was 18.48 percent and the restricted indirect cost rate was 5.10 percent.

FinalForms allows families to complete and update required student information electronically, ensuring that records remain current throughout the school year. This real-time updating process reduces errors associated with paper-based systems, minimizes duplication of data entry, and improves access to critical student information for school staff. As a result, schools can allocate more time to instructional priorities and student support rather than manual administrative processing.  FinalForms serves as an essential digital infrastructure tool that enhances efficiency, strengthens communication with families, supports compliance requirements, and contributes to a more organized and student-centered school system.

The purpose of this grant is for expanded utilization of school facilities, lifelong learning opportunities, volunteer programs, community support and collaboration between The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) and school districts. This grant supports the implementation of Senate Bill (2009) by hiring a full-time community education director to address the goals of KDE.

Community Education in Kentucky encompasses five components:

Expanded utilization of school facilities - Community schools serve the entire community. A fully functioning community school provides opportunities for all community members to utilize school facilities creating a belief that the school is the center of the community.

Lifelong learning opportunities - Learning begins at birth and is life-long. As the basic education agency of the community, public schools respond to both formal and informal educational needs and desires of members of all age groups of the community.

Volunteer Programs - Whether it is a parent or other family member, senior citizen or a young professional, volunteers enhance the learning experience of students. Research demonstrates that when parents and other community members are engaged in educating students, the schools are better and student performance improves.

P - 12 Support - Community support for student learning takes many forms. The community becomes the classroom, enabling students to integrate academic knowledge and critical thinking skills with real-life issues. Students have an opportunity to become resources and respected leaders in their communities

Collaboration - Successful collaboration is dependent upon intentional, well-facilitated coordination. Community Education Directors assume responsibility for ensuring that continued progress is made in resolving school and community issues. Community Education provides linkage with business/industry, community agencies and organizations, and individuals to resolve community and school issues.
