(WDRB) -- The Kentucky Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a state law that took power from Louisville's school board and gave it to the district superintendent is unconstitutional, reversing a 4-3 decision the court made one year earlier. The case centered around'Senate Bill 1, which the Republican majority in Frankfort passed in April 2022. Among other things, the bill stripped power from the Jefferson County Board of Education and gave it to the district superintendent. And it requires a two-thirds vote to overrule any action of the superintendent. While the legislation doesn't specifically mention Jefferson County, given how it's written, Jefferson County Public Schools is the only district it would apply to. In December 2024, the state Supreme Court overturned rulings by the Jefferson Circuit Court and the Kentucky Court of Appeals that SB1 is unconstitutional....
