LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Brian Yearwood is recommending a series of facility changes for the 2026–27 school year as part of an effort to provide “high-quality and cost-effective learning environments” for students.

The proposals, which require approval from the Jefferson County Board of Education, include school closures, consolidations and program relocations.
