Louisville schools had a few glitches on opening day and Republicans lost their damn minds [View all]
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Republican lawmakers across Jefferson County say enough is enough. They want Governor Andy Beshear to call a special session so lawmakers can take their shot at fixing JCPS. Democrats say thats not the solution.
The Republicans have a proposed a slate of ideas. Having kids go their closest neighborhood school, charter schools, and a commission to investigate possibly breaking up JCPS.
It wasnt just this one thing, which was a complete disaster but we call it an epic failure what this district is going through, its been a series of things, State Representative Kevin Bratcher (R-District 29/Louisville) said.
Bratcher said JCPS has shown it cant solve its own problems. He supports lawmakers creating a commission to study breaking up the district, among other ideas.
Break it into two or three different districts because its too big, its obviously too big if they cant even run a bus schedule, Bratcher said.

The real story is Louisville implemented new attendance zones to make access to good schools more equitable, which pissed off the GOP. Now they're getting revenge.
