  • The approved budget includes nearly $100 million in cuts and savings, including the elimination of $12 million in transportation stipends.

The Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) in Louisville, Kentucky, has decided to eliminate transportation stipends for families who live more than a mile and a half from their school, a decision that has caused significant concern among parents. These stipends, which were introduced to help cover transportation costs for families opting out of JCPS bus services, are set to be discontinued as part of budget cuts. Parents, including those like Ashley Smith who rely on the stipends to manage transportation expenses, are worried about the financial impact and the potential disruption to their children's education. JCPS officials have stated that the decision was necessary due to financial constraints, but they are working on finding alternative solutions to support affected families.
