>>> COMPLETE COVERAGE: JCPS School Choice Plan

The JCPS School Choice Proposal was created by Pollio as a way to give students, especially in west Louisville, an opportunity to choose where to attend school. Programs and resources will be provided to students and parents, making it easier to find a school and ensure magnet schools and programs reflected the district’s diversity.

Pollio is looking for the School Choice Proposal to go into effect for the 2023-24 school year. It must first be approved by the JCPS Board of Education.
