"Controversy Erupts Over JCPS Board Decision to Cut Magnet School Transportation"

Jefferson County Board of Education members voted to end busing for the majority of the district's magnet students, except for two high schools with high poverty rates. This decision, made in a meeting that sparked community outrage, will affect at least 14,000 students and result in 4-5 million minutes of lost instruction time. The vote was split along racial lines, and the district will now have to address the impact on families and potential overcrowding in resides schools. The decision has led to calls for the resignation of the superintendent and some board members.
