Carroll County Schools in Kentucky will be closed for the rest of the week due to widespread illnesses affecting students and staff, including RSV, respiratory infections, COVID-19, and colds. The district was already scheduled to be closed on Monday for Labor Day, with students set to return on Tuesday. Superintendent Casey Jaynes emphasized the importance of health and safety, urging everyone to use the long weekend to rest and recover. Although athletic events were initially planned to continue as scheduled, the varsity football game against Kentucky Country Day scheduled for Friday has been canceled. Student-athletes will have limited access to indoor areas like locker rooms and the gym. This decision comes in an effort to prioritize the well-being of students and staff. As the district grapples with the health crisis, all efforts are being made to ensure a quick return to normalcy. Copyright 2024 WDRB Media. All Rights Reserved.
