Core Event
On the first day of school at Farnsley Middle School in Louisville, Kentucky, students received a new student agenda that contained numerous factual errors. State names were misspelled—Kentucky appeared as “Venecky,” Louisiana as “Lookoong,” Alabama as “Alotome,” and others. The booklet also featured a distorted periodic table and unreadable phases of the moon. The mistakes prompted immediate attention from parents and school officials.
Parent Concerns
Stacey Morris, whose son first noticed the errors, questioned the accountability of Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS). She highlighted that families pay a ten-dollar instructional fee each year for the agenda and wondered whether artificial-intelligence tools were used to produce the flawed material. “Arizona is Arizone. Illinois starts with a V. I mean, it's crazy,” — Stacey Morris “We have to pay a ten-dollar instructional fee every year to get this agenda,” — Stacey Morris Morris emailed the school principal on the first day of school but reported receiving no response.
District Response
JCPS’s executive officer of communications acknowledged the issue, stating that the district had spoken with the school about the inaccuracies and that administrators were communicating with parents. The school’s principal later emailed families to inform them of the “inaccurate information” in the agendas. Administrators instructed teachers to remove pages 19 through 36—where most errors appeared—and to keep those pages for further review, directing students to discard the faulty sections before taking the agendas home.
Data & Statistics
- Instructional fee for the agenda: $10 per student per year.
- Errors were concentrated on pages 19-36 of the booklet.
