The future of JCPS, the state’s largest school district, is uncertain as lawmakers begin discussions about restructuring. We want to know what you think. Here’s how you can tell us. lpm.org/feedback

Single-bid jobs are costly. That's what legislative analysts reported to the General Assembly last December. But state leaders have yet to fulfill their promise to address the issue. lpm.org/investigate/20…

We want to hear from you! The future of the state’s largest school district is uncertain as Republican lawmakers begin discussions about restructuring. Send us a voice note explaining why you think it's a good or bad idea: ➡️ news@lpm.org lpm.org/investigate/20…

After Louisville police denied our request for copies of search warrants earlier this year, we sent an appeal to the state's attorney general — and won. Now the city is suing us to try and keep the files secret. lpm.org/investigate/20…

Starting next month, more kids who are charged with gun-related felonies will be automatically prosecuted as adults. In Louisville, it will likely be Black children that bear the impact. lpm.org/investigate/20…

It can be time consuming, trying to find how your state lawmakers voted on legislation in one place. I tried to fix that. Check out the 2024 Legislative Vote Tracker tool and see how your lawmaker voted in Frankfort. lpm.org/news/2024-kent…

A story worthy of recognition but, more importantly, worthy of retelling. Public records reporting at is most compelling reveals systemic failures and legal consequences, but -- as LPM reporter Jasmine Demers observers -- no justice for vulnerable victims.

Excited to share that one of my stories received a first place award in digital writing by @PMJATweets It’s bitter sweet, though, because it’s now been a year since I wrote this story and two years since Ja’Ceon Terry was killed — yet no justice in sight. lpm.org/investigate/20…

Thread for young #journalism pros. Life is long. I hope your career will be long. I had zero career until my mid30s. I stepped away from work repeatedly. I drifted, I vanished, I got paid garbage, I got "soft" fired. I was still sort of figuring it all out well into my 40s 1/
