That is your story. Similar to what I hear, but not exactly the same story that friends and relatives who are teachers tell.
JCPS is located in a county that is as blue at it gets. It is a complete disaster beginning with getting the very basic task of getting the children to school.
Jefferson County Public Schools (
JCPS) is a
public school district located in
Jefferson County, Kentucky, and operating all but one of the public schools in the county. It is governed by an elected seven-member
Board of Education, which selects and hires a
superintendent, who serves as the system's chief executive.
JCPS operates 167
[1] schools with 96,000 students,
[2] making it the 29th-largest school district in the
United States. In 2020–21 the system had a $1.8 billion budget
[3] and more than 18,000 employees. With a fleet of more than 1,500 vehicles, it operates one of the 10 largest
transportation systems in the nation.[
