With some students returning to in-person instruction next week, Hardin County Schools has announced a scheduling plan for their return to school. An A/B schedule will be used throughout the district, which will see students coming in at certain, predetermined times for two days a week.
“We certainly understand that this is a big change,” district spokesperson John Wright explained, “our school principals and other school administrators have run their numbers, moved around classrooms, and worked through many situations to ensure that we follow the health at schools guidelines.”
The schedule calls for a phased approach for an eventual return to full in-person instruction. Class dates are divided up by last names. A-K will go to classes in-person Tuesday and Friday, with those L-Z names going Monday and Thursday. Wednesday will be utilized as an “enrichment” day, giving students a chance to catch up on work, and staff the opportunity to clean buildings and classrooms.
The switch to an A/B schedule was originally to be used by high school students upon their return to school. The scheduling change will only affect those students taking part with the return to in-person instruction.
One person was injured and another arrested after a shooting in Elizabethtown over the weekend.
Elizabethtown Police Officer Chris Denham says officials responded to Nicholas Street on a report of a shooting. When they arrived they found a juvenile male who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Denham says that individual was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Shortly after, Denham says investigators took in two suspects.
The injured male was treated for his wounds and is expected to make a full recovery. One of the suspects was released, with the other juvenile arrested and charged with Assault 1st.
Elizabethtown Community and Technical College has begun their fall semester today, one that the college likely never thought it would experience. And as students and staff make their way back to the classroom, officials say steps have been taken to keep those on campus safe.
Interim Chief Academic Officer Darren Powell noted that less people are going to be on campus at one time, partially due to the fact that some classes will be taking place online only.
