Thanks! Moore in Louisville

I am looking for a list or website that has All District and All County listings for Louisville area districts and Jefferson County. I need them from around 1968 until now. Please let me know if you can help. Trying to develop some program history.

Hmm, this second post was posted on April 20th. School was in session on April 20th. Sorry

haha that is hilarious. Way to go trying to make it look like you really know something.

What he said was not posted in a interview. You would have to been there live when he had that forum at Gheens Academy.

"If the court rules against the Board of Education, the district will have to consider other assignment plans, Todd said. That could mean returning to neighborhood schools or removing race from the factors considered in assigning students to a school." Pat Todd is the director of student assignment Here is the article link also http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070420/NEWS01/704200457 How do the kids say it? pwned?

for years there was no bussing or open enrollment and everything was fine. I agree about the choices deal but I also agree that parents who care will do what they know is right even if they had no choice in school. But, you would still have choice in school, just move. There is your choice. Bad neighborhoods generally have bad schools. If you don't like the school you probably won't like the neighborhood. Thousands of school districts operate through neighborhood schools and tell me they don't have a sense of community pride.

Nope, Jefferson County provides transportation for you no matter what school you want to go to. If you live in Valley Station and want to go to Eastern you get transportation from JC. I believe Shawnee may need some work. Manual is really nice inside. Step foot in there. Communities will become stonger because everyone will go to the same school. Kids will know each other and in effect so will parents. Communities would also take pride in their school because it will be THEIR SCHOOL.

By speaking up and demanding it. Saving all this money on not bussing kids all over the county could be used to fix schools who right now during open enrollment are now where equal to other schools. The way you address the needs is to make sure that every school has upper level courses and advanced programs, not just a few of them. It can and will benefits schools, students, and make communities stronger. And the magnet and options program is a sham. Very few students actually use it for its full worth.

if thats the case then you move onto your second and third questions you posted.

true but public schools didn't.

No one really gained from bussing. Schools gained from open enrollment but in that type of system is ther is a gain, someone also has to lose. Everyone can't win in an open enrollment system and everyones knows it. Schools are not equal as they should be because they are all under the umbrella of JCPS. JCPS has selected the schools they want to succeed the most and everyone knows this. Rockmom, those are three good questions that parent should have to ask. If you live in a coomunity you don't want it run down. You should want to take pride in the school in your community and send your kids there. That doesn't happen in Louisville because of how the system is setup. It should be neighborhood schools and if you don't like it then those three questions you should think long and hard about.

Wow, diogenes, very insightful. Thanks for contributing. You seem to know a lot, so I was curious. Could JCPS go back to neighborhood schools and effectively keep Male, Manual, Butler as schools with no neighborhood areas or resides area?

obviously you didn't read the paper this morning or have been reading the paper. Read the Metro section this morning. But the discussion is if it happens. What schools may become powers or maybe will there be more parity? also, the new superintendent stated he doesn't like the fact that schools here in Louisville are set up to succeed and others to fail. Meaning Manual, Male, Butler etc. He thinks all schools should be equal.

There is a strong possibility that Jefferson County may have to go back to neighborhood schools if the assignment plan is struck down by the supreme court. If this happens, which schools may become powers who might not have previously been?

One year is too short. Some coaches seem to think that teams will take it easy one year, get moved down then dominate for a state championship. Teams won't take it easy for 6 or 8 years. That would be a huge gamble. I say change it either 4,6, or 8 years. Forget the strength of schedule thing. Just take it like it is. Maybe have the first run through a little shorter, two years maybe. Reallign by division win percentage and then reallign every 4,6, or 8.

change it every 4-8 years, maybe 6. Just an example.... Those are the divisions as of today(not literally). In 6 years take the winning percentages again. Only use division games and division winning percentages. Bottom 4 in division 1 will be moved down to division 2. Top 4 in division 2 moved up. Same thing with bottom and top of 2 and 3 and 3 and 4. Sound like a decent idea? I don't think regions look like a real tough problem.

Your right HHS DAD It does look familiar http://www.bluegrasspreps.com/showthread.php?p=1506108#post1506108

They would have to compete with Boyle, Highlands, and Danville also. It would be really tough. Some of those schools might be 8 man teams like Emminence I believe so ignore them.

Won't be too much different then the Iroquois St. X matchup that happens every year.

You don't want to water down football? Class teams by winning percentages and then see who's the boss. Here is an example of 4 classes using divison instead of classes. Division 1 being the toughest. Teams are classed for 8 years. This gives them time to establish a program and see what they can do if a program has not been established. At the end of 8 years realign taking the top 4 and switching them with the bottom 4 at each division. You can do this with 4 or 5 divisions. This would be a lot more competitive exciting football and believe me St. X and Trinity wouldn't win it every year but either would Boyle or Highlands. Nice!

Their enrollment is too high to be 2A

I heard that someone (AD orwhatnot) mentioned putting teams in classes based on their last 5 years records. you could use winning percentages and maybe make one more class but no more then 5. 5 Classes 1A 0%-20% 2A 21%-40% 3A 41%-60% 4A 61%-80% 5A 81%-100% 4 Classes 1A 0%-25% 2A 26%-50% 3A 51%-75% 4A 76%-100% This would make really competitive football in all classes. Every 2 years take a few teams with the highest win percentage and swap them with teams in higher classes with the lowest winning percentages. This allows teams to move up classes based on performance. It might take a few years to balance but you would see some really competitive football. No more 76-0 smashings like when St.X plays Iroquois. As far as recruiting goes. I heard in Florida that if you are found guilty of recruiting your school doesn't get fined or suspended. You get fired and never get to coach in Florida again. Not sure if thats true but sounds good to me.

Moore is one school 6-12th grade. Our kids practice separately but the 8th graders often practice with the high school team and some of them have spots on the high school team.
