Local schools to continue NTI
the rest of the school year
The superintendents of Logan County and Russellville schools have announced they will recommend that their boards of education follow Gov. Andy Beshear’s recommendation Monday that no more face-to-face classes be held in the state's K-12 schools in the 2019-20 school year. Instruction will continue to students at home either online where possible or by written work when necessary. Some families are taking pictures of written homework and sending it to teachers digitally. This also means traditional proms and graduations will not be held, at least not within the next six weeks. This is all a result of attempts to reduce the spread of the Conoravirus in the Commonwealth.
