The plan was changed in the hours before Tuesday's board meeting after the district received pushback from the Jefferson County Teachers Association about cuts to groups it represents.

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.

The cuts are part of $142 million in proposed cuts across the district to address what is projected to be a $188 million shortfall in the 2026-27 budget.

The vote came during the district's board meeting Tuesday evening, which marked the first time members debated the proposed cuts.

The Jefferson County Board of Education approved a contentious boundary change for Echo Trail Middle School on Tuesday.

Stops will be assigned later this month, with routes expected to be restored March 17.

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