Two Republican lawmakers filed resolutions that would create an oversight task force for Jefferson County Public Schools.The "Efficient and Effective School District Governance" task force would monitor the operations and performance of county districts with enrollments of more than 75,000.While the resolution doesn't name JCPS explicitly, it is currently the only district in Kentucky with enrollment numbers that would qualify for the monitoring.Rep. Ken Fleming filed a resolution in the House, while Sen. Lindsay Tichenor filed a concurrent resolution in the Senate. The task force would be responsible for reviewing the operations and performance of JCPS comparable to other districts of the same size.In addition to reviewing past audits, it will also hear testimony from parents, teachers, and school administrators about the strengths and weaknesses of the district.The resolution would also explore options for creating new districts in those counties."We are here to try to help JCPS get them in a better position. Not to go after them or anything like that. We're here to support them and give them as many options as available," Fleming said.According to the sponsors, the task force is in response to some of the recent challenges facing JCPS, including the busing crisis at the beginning of the school year, as well as the ongoing teacher shortage."You're talking about 95,000 students moving through a system that may not be serving them, and it's our duty to make sure that district is able to serve them well considering that JCPS operates on a budget that's almost $2 billion, that's a lot of money that should be putting out better results for our students and their education," Tichenor said.The speaker of the House will appoint two members of the House of Representatives, and the Senate president will appoint two senators. Minority Floor Leaders of both the House and Senate will get one appointment each.The task force will also include a designee from the Louisville mayor's office and state auditor.The legislative research commission would also appoint five additional members, including two taxpayers from the county, along with one teacher within the district. "This is not just a task force with legislators on it. This is a task force with community members on it, and we want to hear what the people want to do with the district and the experiences that they have had with their students in the district," Tichenor said. Senate Minority Leader Gerald Neal says he welcomes looking at ways to improve JCPS but fears this is just laying the groundwork to split up the district."I'm not afraid of questions being asked. I just wonder how and who is going to be at the table when they decide how they're going to do this," Neal said. A spokesperson for JCPS released this statement in response to the resolution: "We are fine with an objective, unbiased study of JCPS and how we might better serve students. We have been repeatedly studied, audited, and evaluated since Dr. Pollio took office. However, this task force is obviously stacked in a way to come to a pre-ordained conclusion, that is, to split up JCPS. Dr. Pollio, and anyone who truly understands education governance, is excluded from the task force, and that says it all."According to JCPS officials, the district has undergone six separate audits since 2017.
