Jefferson County Public Schools wants to move every start time up 20 minutes starting next year.

More than 40,000 students ride buses to school and back home from JCPS schools.

A soft roll out of the system began on May 16. 

The lawsuit, filed in June 2024, argued the district's decision to cut transportation for thousands of magnet and traditional students violated their civil rights.

Transportation may be restored for some Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) students before the end of the year, but some families it's too late.

The district said TARC drivers are continuing to test and get certifications to drive the school buses.

About 17,000 students are eligible for the stipends.

Nearly 100,000 students returned to class Thursday morning as the district put their new transportation plan to the test, parents waiting anxiously to see what time their children would get home. 

JCPS leaders said Monday they've worked countless hours the past few months on the transportation plan, including using an internal routing team.
