JCPS and the Community: Partners for academic success
To set and reach ever-higher educational goals, hundreds of companies, neighborhood groups, government agencies, individuals, colleges, and universities join forces with JCPS teachers and administrators every year. Together, we build on the strengths created by our diversity. We pool our knowledge and resources, and we share them with students of all
ages throughout the district.
For example, hundreds of volunteers and organizations support Every 1 Reads. Community collaboration also has been the key to the success of our Adult and Continuing Education Program as well as the Louisville Education Employment Partnership (LEEP).
These and many other programs give back to the community, creating a continuous cycle of adults helping children and neighbors helping neighbors. Together, we develop lifelong learners, skilled workers, and informed citizens.
