This decision comes after Breckinridge county found itself in the red in terms of COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.

Superintendent Nick Carter also says that the staff of Breckinridge County Schools have worked with the precautions and steps they’ve had to take to adapt to the pandemic. Meade county officials announced yesterday that they would remain on NTI for the rest of the week.

With Elizabethtown, Hardin, LaRue, and Grayson counties already making the announcement of NTI last week, another school district has moved to online learning, at least for today. Meade County Schools announced late last night that virtual instruction would take place today. The district cited a lack of bus drivers and district quarantines as a cause for the move. Breckinridge County Schools, on the other hand, announced last week that they would continue on with their A/B schedule for students of the district. The district had only transitioned to NTI for one school, Hardinsburg Elementary, last week.
