Phi Delta Kappa sent a team to the district that included 26 licensed auditors who have experience with large urban school systems and expertise in the areas they reviewed. They reviewed documents and artifacts, visited 148 schools, and interviewed 450 individuals, including the Superintendent, Board members, all principals, K-12 teachers, students, parents, community members, business leaders, and legislators. Based on the review of evidence cited above, the team prepared a report, which includes 24 findings and 10 recommendations designed to offer a systems approach to educational improvement. The complete 566-page audit report can be found at http://www.jefferson.k12.ky.us/Projects/CMA/JCPS_Audit.pdf
Since January, we have (1) reviewed the audit findings and recommendations; (2) prioritized the recommended actions by creating a timeline and a means to track progress; and (3) incorporated many of these actions into our district strategic improvement plan. This report will provide an update of our progress in implementing the recommended actions.
Some of our recent work has focused on:
- Participating in follow-up training on how to use and implement the CMA findings;

- Developing cultural competence training for all staff (Recommendation 9); and
