Faulty Agenda Distributed at Farnsley Middle School
A student agenda handed out to seventh-grade students at Farnsley Middle School in Louisville, Kentucky contains numerous factual errors. Pages 19 through 36 feature a U.S. map that misspells state names—Kentucky appears as “Venecky,” Louisiana as “Lookoong,” Alabama as “Alotome,” Illinois as “Vitoiis,” Arizona as “Arizone,” and South Carolina as “Sorth Cuanto.” The same sections include a distorted periodic table and unreadable lunar phase diagrams. Parents reported the mistakes on their children’s first day of school.
School District Response
Farnsley administrators emailed teachers, warning them of the errors and instructing that the problematic pages be removed from students’ agendas. The principal sent a separate email to parents, labeling the content “inaccurate information.” Jefferson County Public Schools officials said they are communicating with families about the inaccuracies but declined to comment on who printed the agendas or whether the materials had been used in other schools.
Parental Criticism and AI Questions
Stacey Morris, whose son was among the first to notice the errors, expressed frustration that families pay a $10 annual instructional fee for the agenda. She questioned whether artificial intelligence was used to generate the material, suggesting that reliance on AI would be “silly” given the cost. The incident has prompted broader concerns among parents about the quality control of educational resources that may be produced with automated tools.
