Jefferson County schools in Kentucky are getting ready to spring into the new year with new students, supplies, and uniforms.  Parents are being handed a school supply list for their student and some may pay up to $800 in supplies alone.  In addition to that, school uniforms are mandatory in most schools and parents are afraid of the added expense.  It seems as though the “free” education system is no longer free.   The school system no longer has funds to help families in need.
