Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Brian Yearwood held his State of the District address Friday morning, using a shorter-than-average speech to say he's content with where Louisville schools are headed in the midst of a financial crisis.

The Jefferson County Board of Education voted Friday in favor of central office reductions and a restructuring plan in as part of the district's plan to address what's projected to be a $188 million shortfall in the 2026-27 budget.

Jefferson County Public Schools is facing a $188 million deficit and must decide in the coming weeks where $132 million in cuts will fall.

At a Revenue Advisory Task Force meeting Monday, district leaders discussed the financial crisis
