The beginning of the 2020-21 school year is already looking to be unlike anything Kentuckians have seen before. Even with the uncertainty, Elizabethtown Independent School District is making registration easier in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Monday, the district began offering online registration for all new and returning students.

Superintendent Kelli Bush said information such as transportation needs and contact information will be updated through this online registration portal this year. Registration can be done under the Parents and Students Tab on the Elizabethtown Independent Website.

A Meade County man was arrested Sunday after allegedly fleeing from police on a stolen motorcycle.

On Sunday night, police were called to the area of West Lincoln Trail Boulevard in reference to a reported stolen motorcycle. A Radcliff Police officer located the motorcycle on the roadway near North Wilson Road, where the driver, Jason Poole, was operating it. When officers attempted a traffic stop, Poole fled with a passenger, who attempted to get off, towards Dixie Highway, eventually crashing and fleeing on foot through several parking lots. While being placed under arrest, officers located a metal shim and screwdriver in his pocket, fashioned into the shape of a key.

Poole was charged with Fleeing or Evading, Receiving Stolen Property, as well as Unlawful Imprisonment, among other charges. He was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center.

Hardin County Schools has released a draft of their reopening plan to the public. Information regarding the upcoming school year is now available on the district’s website. District spokesperson John Wright says that the document isn’t final just yet.

Wright says that while the district is planning on only the two instruction models, the use of NTI learning could be implemented at any point.
