As parents are facing more changes and decisions, the district hosted a virtual information session Tuesday evening about two proposals that would implement three different start times instead of the nine JCPS currently has.
Jefferson County Teachers Association is the district's largest teachers' union. Brent McKim is JCTA's president.
Kentucky lawmakers want to address in-school student violence and the recent teacher shortage with a new statewide discipline plan.
The plan includes start times ranging from 7:40 a.m. to as late as 10:40 a.m. Most schools would start at either 7:40 a.m., 8:40 a.m. or 9:40 a.m.
The district approved a 4% increase in June for the 2022-23 school year, adding up to a 9% raise in six months.
The legislature will ultimately vote on what to approve in the 2021 budget.
