Jeferson County schools to cut 300 jobs, restructure leadership, and close schools to address $188M shortfall.
Jefferson County Public Schools plans to cut 300 central office positions and restructure leadership to save $142 million amid an $188 million budget shortfall for 2026-27.
The changes, including eliminating key roles like chief information and human resources officers, will reduce chief-level positions from 13 to six and reassign some roles to lower pay grades.
New positions will be created to support the restructured organization.
The district also proposes closing two elementary schools and relocating Liberty High School.
A full list of affected roles will be shared at a February 11 board meeting, with final decisions expected in September.
Concerns have been raised about transparency, exclusion of principals from budget talks, and potential impacts on student services.
