About Jefferson County: The Jefferson
County Public School system serves a
population over 760,000+ people and is
the largest district in Kentucky.
When Kentucky updated its
graduation requirements to include
an Individual Learning Plan focused
on career exploration and
postsecondary education for all
students 6th grade and above, the
Jefferson County Public School
system turned to Pathful.

Prior to engaging Pathful's
assistance, Jefferson County Public
Schools relied on spreadsheets
and self-reporting methods to
monitor student Individual Learning
Plan (ILP) completion. Recognizing
the need for a more intuitive and
trackable solution, Jefferson
County sought a platform that not
only facilitated ILP tracking but also
met state requirements and better
equipped students for their future.
How we found success:
Leveraging their amazing relationship
with their Pathful team, Jefferson
County Public Schools developed a
guide for using Pathful to cover
Kentucky’s ILP requirements. Pathful
has continually ensured Jefferson
County Public Schools is supported
throughout their implementation with
customized trainings, resources, data
preparation, and the dedicated
guidance of a Success Manager.
Impact:
Jefferson County Public Schools
attests to the transformative
impact of Pathful on their
curriculum, noting its enhanced
ease of use and reliability for
teachers, coupled with increased
student engagement. This has
resulted in the expanded adoption
of Pathful across both middle and
high schools district-wide.
How they use Pathful:
The guide developed by Jefferson
County Public Schools offers a
structured pathway to fulfill the
state's ILP completion mandates
using Pathful, while allowing
teachers the freedom to tailor the
content to their students' needs. This
approach not only empowers
teachers to personalize the material,
but also guarantees that all
students are adequately prepared
for graduation and beyond.
