New JCPS Superintendent Dr. Brian Yearwood said the district is prepared to welcome back nearly 100,000 students to its 165 schools. 

Dr. Brian Yearwood toured Auburndale Elementary School to observe the district’s Summer Success League program.

Jefferson County Public Schools officials said the district now has enough drivers from Louisville's public transportation agency to possibly restore bus routes that were cut.

Qualified parents will receive notice this week with step-by-step instructions on how to sign up, the district said.

A vote on restoring routes is not expected at Tuesday's meeting, as the recommended motion is to, "receive an update regarding the current state of Transportation within Jefferson County Public Schools."

The Jefferson County Board of Education received a transportation update Tuesday evening from its chief operations officer, transportation director and chief financial officer.

The Jefferson County Board of Education will vote on the plan next Tuesday, March 26.
