Financially struggling Kentucky school District has paid out more than $800,000 JUST in 2026 to teachers, administrators, and security personnel that are not allowed around the students due to pending legal charges. One Principal has been paid $550,000 plus benefits since 2023. He was arrested his first day on the job as principal and has been being paid a principal’s salary while not allowed around children per district policy. Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) currently has 17 employees sitting on “reassignment”—full pay, full benefits, zero contact with students. Most are teachers. Two are in-school security monitors. Three are administrators. The longest one is former Olmsted Academy North Principal Leroy Littles. Arrested March 13, 2023, on his very first day in the job. Warrant out of Bullitt County for misdemeanor assault and terroristic threatening stemming from a Christmas 2022 incident in Shepherdsville. The terroristic threatening charge was later dropped; the assault was amended up to second-degree. As of this month the case still has not gone before a grand jury. How does this even happen? Littles had already worked for JCPS for 16 years and was being promoted into a principal role. Did the district run a background check as part of the hiring process? Why didn't a pending warrant from a neighboring county show up if they did? That raises a bigger question. If a pending warrant can slip through for a new principal, how many other people are currently working around JCPS students with open warrants or charges the district never caught? The fact that Littles made it onto a campus at all makes me concerned the district’s vetting process is not catching these things before staff are placed with kids. Littles has maintained he was never there. His attorney says the accuser (who was involved with a JCPS employee) searched the district directory looking for a Black male employee and picked Littles’ name. Littles sued the district in 2024, alleging the reassignment has destroyed his career and that he was treated differently from white employees in similar situations. That lawsuit is paused until the criminal case finishes. Meanwhile JCPS has kept him on the payroll the entire time. He was first moved to a research role, then in July 2026 to the materials production department—where he is the highest-paid person, making about $130,000 a year while most his coworkers make 40k–$`70k. The district is not even running its own active investigation anymore. The state’s Education Professional Standards Board review is still open. The new principal who replaced him at Olmsted North makes roughly the same salary. The other 16 reassignments are shorter but the same system: full pay while the district investigates or “makes a final personnel decision.” One assistant principal was reassigned to a bus compound after an investigation into inappropriate remarks was found inconclusive. Another principal (Hollie Smith at Academy @ Shawnee) has been ordered to stay off campus and not contact staff or students since March while her investigation continues. She makes over $170,000. This is the same district that has a $188 million budget hole, just cut programs and closed schools, and still wants more property tax money. Seventeen people who cannot be around kids, collecting full principal and teacher salaries, while the district is telling taxpayers there isn’t enough money for classrooms.
