JCPS School Choice Plan

JCPS Superintendent Dr. Marty is calling for the School Choice Proposal to go into effect in the 2023-24 school year, but it must be approved by the JCPS Board of Education.

JCPS said it would do the opposite by giving families a choice to go to school where they live instead of bussing them across town.

Some believe that as families from lower-income neighborhoods choose to keep their children in neighborhood schools, diversity and desegregation will likely decline in the district.

The plan that would eventually give every student, particularly those living in west Louisville, a choice about where to go to school.

Many view changing the student assignment plan as an opportunity to correct achievement gaps that exist between Black and white students.
