JCPS Insider exists for one reason: Jefferson County Public Schools is one of the largest districts in the country, and figuring it out as a parent should not feel like a full-time job.
We follow the decisions that shape Louisville classrooms — budgets, staffing, school safety, transportation, magnet and school choice, phone policies, and everything in between — then translate them into plain language with the part parents actually need: what it means for your child, and what to do next.
What we do
- Report on district news with context, not jargon.
- Track the deadlines and application windows families keep missing.
- Publish free guides, like the Parent Field Guide, so families can plan ahead.
- Listen. A lot of our best reporting starts as a tip from a parent or employee.
Independent, and not affiliated with JCPS
JCPS Insider is not run by, funded by, or affiliated with Jefferson County Public Schools. That independence is the point — it lets us ask the questions families want answered.
