What This Louisville Board of Education Guide Covers

Calendar intent

JCPS Calendar, Calendar at a Glance, First Day and School Events

The official Calendar at a Glance page is the best starting point for Louisville public school dates. Use it for parent calendar information, school-year planning, breaks, holidays, board events and important district dates. Use the Events page when you need daily or school-specific event listings.

If you are planning child care, doctor visits, family travel, custody schedules, work leave, first day of school, graduation planning or testing windows, recheck the official calendar page before making final plans. JCPS also maintains a First Day of School page and school-year information resources for families.

Calendar at a Glance

Best for school-year dates, major calendar planning and family scheduling.

Events

Best for daily district events, school meetings and current calendar entries.

First Day page

Best for new school-year information, family reminders and back-to-school links.

School page

Best for individual school events, principal messages, campus activities and local schedules.

Calendar warning: Do not rely only on an old PDF screenshot or social post. Weather, board action, transportation changes, graduation approvals or school-specific changes can affect planning.
Board meetings

Louisville Board of Education Meeting Schedule, VanHoose Location and Broadcasts

The official JCPS Board of Education page links the 2026 Board Meeting Schedule, Board Meeting Broadcasts and Board Meeting Materials.

JCPS Board Meeting Materials, KSBA Portal, Minutes and Policy Manual

The Board Meeting Materials link on the official JCPS Board of Education page points to the KSBA public portal for Jefferson County. The portal is the best route for meeting materials, minutes, meeting type, agenda attachments and meeting history. The board page also links the Board Policy Manual.

1

Open the JCPS Board page

Use the official board page for the schedule, broadcasts, materials, policy manual and board member information.

2

Open KSBA meeting materials

Use the KSBA portal to find meeting dates, meeting types, minutes and board materials.

Board broadcasts help you understand discussion, but do not replace official materials and minutes.

4

Use policy manual for rules

If your question is about governance, student policy, board procedure or district rules, use the policy manual route.

Records tip: An agenda is a planned meeting document. Minutes are a record after approval. A video is useful, but official written materials are cleaner for citations and records.
