Jefferson Co Public Schools disastrous audit
Auditor Ball enumerates issues
...“From the highest levels of the district, we see a lack of communication and goal setting; there has been no cohesive plan for several years now," Auditor Allison Ball said. “And in each working budget report from FY22 to FY26, expenses exceeded revenues. Anyone paying attention could see that JCPS' financial picture was painted in red and was a roadmap to failure. Given that the School Board approved the maximum property tax increase every year over the last decade, we know it's a spending, not a revenue, problem.
Further, over a 20-year period, JCPS's per-student revenue rose by 62%; in the classroom, average teacher salaries increased by 12%. The examination also found a culture of fear of retaliation against teachers if they spoke up against leadership; a fear of being targeted and denied opportunities. Auditor Ball said, “JCPS's teachers work hard every day, and they should feel supported and valued by the district. I'm grateful for their willingness to show up for Louisville's students, even in the face of countless challenges outside of their control."

Chelsey Nelson Wins Suit
But Fairness Ordinance remains
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – To conclude a lawsuit brought by Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, the city of Louisville has agreed to pay $800,000 in attorneys’ fees for violating the First Amendment rights of photographer and blogger Chelsey Nelson. The fee settlement comes after the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky held Louisville accountable for violating Nelson’s freedom to speak messages consistent with her religious beliefs.
"The government cannot force Americans to say things they don’t believe," ADF Senior Counsel Bryan Neihart said in the news release. "For almost six years, Louisville officials tried to do just that by threatening to force Chelsey to promote views about marriage that violated her religious beliefs. Louisville's threats contradicted bedrock First Amendment principles which leave decisions about what to say with the people, not the government. This settlement should teach Louisville that violating the U.S. Constitution can be expensive." Read more.

DOJ’s Anti-Weaponization Fund Leaves Taxpayers With the Bill
1776 is celebrated in the United States as the official beginning of the nation, with the Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies from the British Empire issued on July 4. But should it be associated with the fiscal redress of grievances against the US DOJ? Paid by TAXPAYERS??
