School Board Challenges Superintendent Power | Louisville News

Jefferson County’s school board is suing to block a controversial new state law that would give Superintendent Brian Yearwood sweeping control over personnel, transportation, and budget decisions — including approving up to $250K in transfers without board approval. The board argues the law is vague, unconstitutional, and undermines public oversight — especially since Yearwood himself previously opposed the bill. A nearly identical law was struck down in court just last year. The lawsuit targets state education officials, seeking a restraining order to halt enforcement, as the board fights to preserve its authority over the district’s 95,000 students.
