High school sports will take place in Kentucky this fall. The KHSAA voted yesterday to delay the start of the fall sports season until September 7th, with golf being the only fall sport not affected by the vote. The schedule of a return to high school sports is as follows:
Cross Country, Soccer, Volleyball, Field Hockey
Football
Commissioner Julian Tackett says football will still conclude the season with the state finals taking place December 11 through 12.
Today marks a full month since bars were allowed to reopen in Kentucky. And in that same timeframe, they’ve already been told to close once again. Bourbon Barrel Tavern co-owner Stacy Reynolds says that Monday’s news did come as a shock.
Reynolds says the bar will operate this way as long as the closure lasts. Which, he says, might be longer than 2 weeks.
The closures went into effect last night at 5 p.m.
A return to school for Hardin County high school students has taken a drastic change.
During last night’s Board of Education meeting, it was announced that the district would split in-person instruction up into two rotating groups, in an effort to keep student interaction down. District spokesperson John Wright says the plan was pushed for by the principals of the schools, who felt is was the best option for those students returning to in-person instruction.
The district will host a live Q&A today at noon to answer questions from parents, teachers, and students. The change to an A/B schedule will only affect high school students.
After extensive discussion, the Elizabethtown Board of Education has decided on what course of action to take for their return to school next month. In the end, the board decided to adopt what was referred to as “Option 4”, which calls for students to begin the school year online for the first 3 week. Incoming Superintendent Kelli Bush says students without access to the online services at home would be able come to the school to complete the online instruction.
Elizabethtown students will now start online beginning August 25th.
