The options would not impact the 2025-26 school year.

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.

Jefferson County Public Schools leadership said Monday they're confident in the plan to get students to and from school on their first day back Thursday, promising the brand new plan is a step forward a year after chaos enveloped the start of the year.

Pollio said it's taken the better part of three months to lock in the district's bus routing plan for the new school year and he said it'd be a "major lift" to have to redo it all.

The state's largest school district continues to work hard to avoid repeating the transportation issues experienced last year. 

The district continues to work on improving transportation for this coming school year.

Those exceptions are Central and Western high schools, which both have a 75% threshold of students on free or reduced lunch.

Parents are also worried about disrupting students involved in career pathways program who may be forced to transfer to keep transportation.
