Closing schools will insure they are safe to return to when the time is appropriate. [View all]
Our Jefferson County (Louisville Metro) schools will close after today's session (Fri.) and remain closed at least through April 5th. At this time, two people in Jefferson County have tested positive for COVID-19.
From local TV station WHAS11:
Gov. Andy Beshear has recommended all schools cease in-person classes for the next two weeks to combat the spread of coronavirus.
Beshear's recommendation comes as several events are being canceled locally and nationwide. He previously recommended churches cancel services this weekend.
While children are not being affected, Beshear said the recommendation is to ensure the state takes a proactive approach to avoiding the spread of COVID-19.
He said he does not ask school districts to close completely so districts can provide meal programs or help students who may need a place to stay. Beshear said it is important students go to school Friday, March 12.
