✅ COMMUNITY FORUMS | The Jefferson County Board of Education wants your input as they search for a new superintendent. Join us at two upcoming Community Forums on Saturday, Feb. 15:
➡️ 10 to 11 a.m. at the Academy @ Shawnee
➡️ 12 to 1 p.m. at Ballard High School
✅ SUPERINTENDENT SURVEY | The Jefferson County Board of Education wants to hear from the public as they search for the next superintendent of JCPS. With Dr. Marty Pollio retiring this summer, the board has begun the process of hiring his successor. To assist in this effort, board members are inviting the public to complete a survey that asks about the qualities and priorities they’d like to see from the next leader of JCPS.
Whether you’re a parent, student, staff member, community leader, or simply someone who cares about the future of JCPS and Louisville, your input is invaluable!
Take a few moments to fill out the survey and share your thoughts: bit.ly/jcps-superintendent-search
