Student assignment series

JCPS' superintendent acknowledges that schools would become less diverse under the plan. But that’s a trade-off he’s willing to make, for choice.

JCPS has high hopes for a school that will serve overwhelmingly low-income Black students, a population that JCPS has so far struggled to serve well.

The discrimination Black students face in integrated schools is one reason why some Black Louisvillians question whether integration is working.

Those who fought the integration battle wonder what the district’s new legacy will be.

JCPS assigns students from Louisville’s majority Black and low-income West End to schools in whiter, wealthier suburbs to the east and south. A new plan could change that.
