No real idea other than theories.
I also have to wonder about the overall issues with JCPS and the way it's structured in terms of trying to drive routes pulling kids from all over God's green Earth to create diverse schools adds to the stress.
They've cut down on that pretty substantially, but the magnet nonsense needs to go too. That and they should have been building schools in the West End and East Ends as opposed to doing the bussing years ago.
Idocracy coming to fruition. The lowest common denominator becoming the loudest voice, while “usually” being the least educated or informed, is a recipe for disaster.
It's a shame. I can't fathom that the individuals and families that bussing is supposed to help the most (inner city with high levels of minorities) enjoy being bussed passed a school 5 minutes away in order to attend one nearly an hour bus drive away.
It's the main reason why my sister and I attended Catholic schools and why my boys do currently. Every time we have to pay our tuition bills, I curse the fact that I can't trust that my sons won't be sent somewhere we don't want them to attend.
I trust you are correct.
Overall, they should have invested heavily in making West End schools better. The bussing just has not worked and there is no doubt that lacking all of those families who've sent their kids to private schools for decades has had an enormous impact on helping to maintain a better level of quality in the public school system in Jefferson County.
As long as we have a democratic governor, we wont get charter schools and people in Louisville and Lexington will be stuck with garbage school systems. The big school unions will never allow that because they know they would lose a lot of kids and thus lose the $$$ from the state. And a Democratic governor will always do what the teacher unions tell them (even though I don’t think a lot of teachers believe what the big teacher unions preach). Vote Cameron in and maybe we have a chance at charter schools. Although with his wife being a public school teacher, it would be interesting to see what he does. At least there would be a chance. With king andy, zero chance.
Not sure if this is rhetorical. But I mean, who the f*ck would want to do that job besides people like Clown? If you’ve got a CDL why would you want to drive a school bus for a part time job?
When I was younger (old man shaking fist at cloud) half the buses were driven by teachers before and after school but now they have so many required staffing meetings and ish during bus route time to go to that it isn’t possible for them either.
Shew
Bet Phil would’ve gotten in some action on the PTI major wins bet.
also I believe that there are some rules in place now that limit the number of daily hours of indoctrination that teachers can have
lol at “construct bus routes”
It’s a map. You look at it. You aren’t building anything.

Republicans outnumber Democrats in the Kentucky legislature 111-26.
Pretty sure that party can do whatever TF they want.
“King” Andy lol

You clearly didn't live here during COVID.
Must be tough only having 82% of the legislature on your side 
Bus driver hours are like 6:00 - 9:00 and 2:30 - 5:00 and requires a CDL. I grew up in a place where bus drivers were all farmers because it's a part time job.
Charter schools were authorized back in 2017 and more recently the republican controlled legislature had a bill that gave funding for charter schools. Andy beshear vetoed the bill to fund charter schools. Like I said he vetoed saying they would take money away from public schools. So I guess the issue now is they are “legal” based on republican legislation, but king Andy is holding funding because like I said he doesn’t want them;
Ol’ Lefty? Yeah of course but when he or anyone else is in contention on a late Sunday major, I know I’m getting goosebumps.
Walked into a grocery store the other day and they’re starting at $19/hour. Bus drivers are around $30.
Kind of a waste I ever went to college. Totally stress free $50-60k/year gig with benefits sometimes sounds pretty wodie. Beats working at a bank.

82%
You know they can override his veto, right??
They’ve already shown tremendous courage by doing so to save girls sports from the onslaught of all 1 trans athletes — important issues. Maybe they can focus on much less meaningful topics now and do the same here?
When you're issuing ridiculous and unconstitutional XO's, it unfortunately doesn't matter.Must be tough only having 82% of the legislature on your side

I say that sometimes and then remember I like my time off and the pay that affords me luxuries I am accustomed.
Phil, degenerate gambler, nothing new. Even the amounts. Given the stories of his losses and decision to pursue LIV payday, not surprising.
This generation. Hired about 40 recent grads, at 60k a year. Put em in a classroom a few days a week. frequent breaks, yet somehow 5-10 minutes late getting going everytime. This ain't high school, kids.
... and R's have a veto-proof super majority in both the House and Senate. If they want to override a veto, they can rather easily (and have quite often). My understanding is that there is also a block of R's that are not in favor of charters and/or the charter funding mechanisms proposed.
As a republican, I can agree with Andy on his veto.
The idea of charter isn’t to have the base funded by govt, clearly taking away from public school funding. It is to have enough money raised first and then govt to help close the gap to get it to the finish line.
Once it starts, even teachers will not stop it because they can be selected to go to those charter schools and remain union.
There are a ton of misconceptions on charters, and I’ll add they can fail too if not handled properly. However, if they are set up right and handled correctly by the private funding, or investors, they are the only way to go in Jefferson county.
Yesterday only made it more clear!

Did something happen between UK and Frederick Douglass? They have 4 FBS recruits on this year's team and it looks like they're going to Purdue, Arkansas, Michigan, and Northwestern.
Edit: Well it sounds like Ryan got duped by is son for at least one of them.

Set the tone, CAT Scratch. They need leadership.
Isn’t Ty Bryant coming to UK? Maybe we just have better players at those positions going out of state?
Considering Northwestern might have been a red flag to our staff.
Bourbon on Rye has a slider version...was my first experience, and thought (that version at least, topped w/ their beer cheese), was
Crispy, fatty, goodness...He charge overtime?
I’ve worked in public education for nearly 30 years, and I wouldn’t be school bus driver in a Lexington-sized city or bigger if it paid $40 an hour.
I have a hard time not having road rage or a panic attack driving myself around this city, much less with 40 kids who have just been released from 8 hours of being told what to do.
There are tons of ****** jobs where you deal with ********. Somehow they manage to not shut down.
I really don’t mean to continue this boring conversation but I just can’t get over the fact that you are SO INCREDIBLY involved with schools, apparently really want charters, are posting nonstop about it, and seemingly had no idea that the republicans could easily override the governors veto and that a block of republicans (that you’re probably voting for to pass charter schools) aren’t even in favor for them.
I’m not even saying you’re right or wrong just the fact you didnt know that cracks me up and perfectly encapsulates modern politics and voters.- Status
