LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — It took Stacey Morris' son just one day of school to spot something was off.
"Mom, did you know that we live in Venecky?" he joked with her on the drive home.
Morris had no idea what he was talking about until she opened the new student agenda he brought home from Farnsley Middle School.
On the pages inside, Kentucky was labeled “Venecky". Louisiana was "Lookoong." Alabama was “Alotome.” Illinois was “Vitoiis.” South Carolina was "Sorth Cuanto."
"Arizona is Arizone. Illinois starts with a V. I mean, it's crazy," Morris said.
The bizarre map was just the beginning. Morris found errors throughout the booklet, including a distorted periodic table and unreadable phases of the moon.
For Morris, the issue is about accountability. Families pay a ten-dollar instructional fee each year for these agendas. Morris also questioned whether AI was used to create the agenda.
"We have to pay a ten-dollar instructional fee every year to get this agenda," Morris said. "But you're making us pay for something you used AI for? That's kind of silly, in my opinion."
Morris emailed the principal on the first day of school but says she never received a response.
When WDRB asked JCPS about this, Wednesday the district's executive officer of communications said "I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I spoke with the school today about inaccuracies in their agenda, and they are communicating with parents about the issue."
Wednesday, Farnsley administrators emailed teachers warning them about a "LOT of mistakes" on pages 19 through 36. Administrators told teachers to have students tear those pages out before taking the agendas home, and for teachers to keep those pages.
Wednesday the school's principal emailed parents to notify them of "inaccurate information" in the agendas.
"This is not a misprint," Morris said. "Someone did not look at what they were handing out to the students."
Now, Morris is left wondering whether Farnsley was the only JCPS school to receive the error-filled agendas or whether other families simply haven't noticed yet.
WDRB asked JCPS who printed the agendas and if they were distributed at other schools. The district did respond before this was published.
