🗓️ YEAR-END RECAP | As we look back on the 2025-26 school year, Superintendent Dr. Brian Yearwood shares a message of deep gratitude, resilience, and vision for Jefferson County Public Schools.
From navigating tough financial decisions to modernizing our district with Google Workspace and safe AI tools, this year has been about building a stable, forward-thinking foundation for our community.

"Over the past year, I have had the privilege of visiting schools across our community and witnessing firsthand the dedication, resilience, and heart of our educators, staff, students, and families," Dr. Yearwood said. "What has become abundantly clear is this: JCPS is a district filled with people who believe deeply in the power of public education and who show up every day committed to helping children succeed."

🚨 ACTION REQUIRED | TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY! 🚨

We need to know how your child will get to and from school for the 2026-27 school year.

Today, June 8, 2026, is the final day to request bus transportation for the first day of school. Every JCPS family must complete the Transportation Verification (TV) form to let us know your plans.

Eligible bus riders who fill out the form by the end of the day today will be notified of their bus stop location in July via the JCPS Bus Teller. Don't delay—get your request in now!

Complete the form here: https://t.co/499wmVjzuF

Today, @JCPSSuper joined JCPS School and Community Nutrition Services to help keep our community fed. Last summer alone, we provided about 320,000 meals to children!

The program is completely funded through the USDA and does not use district funds.
