The operator of the buggy, an adult female, and three juveniles were transported by helicopter to the University of Louisville Hospital for treatment. Two of the juveniles were later released, while the operator and a juvenile remained hospitalized with life-threatening injuries as of Friday afternoon. Aubrey was transported to Breckinridge Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Elizabethtown Independent Schools is recognizing one of their educators. 

The district has announced that Panther Academy Special Teacher Megan Goodman is the 2024-2025 recipient of the EIS ExCEL Award.

The ExCEL Award, short for Excellence in Classroom and Education Leadership, is sponsored by WHAS-11 and Miracle Playgrounds of Kentucky and Tennessee. The award recipient is chosen based on an application review, classroom observation, and an interview, with individuals from the community and other school districts involved in the selection process.

Goodman is the first teacher from Panther Academy to receive the award. The district noted in selecting Goodman she showed that she is a consummate professional who cares deeply for her students, holds them to high expectations, and believes in their ability to learn at high levels.

Goodman said in a release from EIS: “It was a mix of surprise, pride, and gratitude—surprise at the recognition, pride in the hard work and dedication I have put into teaching the littlest Panthers, and gratitude for the students/parents and colleagues/admin who have appreciated and supported my efforts.”

Goodman will be recognized during a ceremony at Elizabethtown High School on Wednesday, April 9.
