The Budget Committee held hearings on May 20, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 5:53 PM, to review the proposed FY2026-2027 budgets for Facilities and Fleet Management (F&F) and the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD). Committee members questioned department leaders on operational and capital budgets, staffing, technology, and strategic initiatives. No formal votes were taken.
My goal is to show students that if they're passionate about something, they can absolutely make a career out of it. And they don't have to wait. I've always loved editing also. When I was little, I would make little things on iMovie like trailers, just by myself on my mom's iPad. I've just always had a little passion for it. When I found out about Atherton, I saw that I could go into a program with it, and that just increased my love for it a lot more. I was lucky to have Ava as a freshman in intro to media arts. And she was a great student from the beginning. Like she was wanting to sit in the front. She was always raising her hand. I learned like storyboarding. I learned production. I learned how to write professional emails, which was really good. And then I learned all the adobes. And they really strengthened my like video editing skills. There's a need for people to be able to create content that looks good and sounds good. And our students know how to do that once they leave Atherton. I was looking for a marketing internship, and Mr. Boris told me to reach out to Jay Smith. I did a little internship with them for a few months with a social media marketing, and I absolutely sell in love. Because I worked with her in the school program, I knew her and I knew the quality of her work already. So that networking was a much stronger just because I already knew the quality of her work. It's not just all about the technical side, like what kind of camera you're shooting on or what kind of programs it's about being able to market yourself. And Jay has been instrumental in helping us with that. I've seen other business owners who have been engaged for several years, and it has completely changed their business. It really taught me my love and passion for marketing, something that I want to do when I was little. Video editing can actually be a job that I can go into. The Iroquois High School Family Health Center has been so successful that the mayor and Metro Council have provided funding to expand the service to Pleasure Rich Park High School. Well, good morning, everyone, and welcome to Iroquois High School. We're here because just downstairs from where we're standing in the library at Iroquois High School is Family Health Center Clinic. And it's currently the only clinic of its kind throughout all of JCPS. Since its opening in January of 2024, the family health clinic here at Iroquois High School has cared for more than 1,800 students, staff, and their household members, and has had over 6,000 visits with Metro Council support. I allocated funding just a few months ago in our mid-year budget to build another family health center at PRP High School. And we are so excited to help expand the health services that are going to be provided to JCPS families next up at PRP High School. In a school where more than 80% of our students qualify for free reduce science in a school where we have about 40% or more of multilingual learners, this clinic breaks the barriers of students who need it most. The center provides primary care, behavioral health, dental services on site, allowing us to keep our students healthy and supported, and most importantly, in seat. So that they too can succeed and thrive because they now have access to health care within our schools. Thank you, Mayor Greenberg. Thank you, Family Health Centers. History came to life at the Living Wax Museum at Norton Commons Elementary. Bring about change. We'll fail when we fail to try. Hi, I'm free to call La Sara is Festo Agri. It means I paint my own reality. I love the paint. It's one of my most favorite things to do. So you're at Norton Commons Elementary in our gymnasium, and we are proudly presenting our third grade wax museum where our students picked a historical figure, whether it was somebody local from Louisville like Johnny Unidas or Muhammad Ali, and they researched that person, wrote a speech, and then today they became that person. I impacted history by writing about space and time. I also inspired people with my speeches. I'll be known for changing how people thought about the universe.
