Lawrence County Family, Due to recent weather cancellations (including just this week), we must adjust our school calendar to meet state requirements. The past two years, the weather has worked against us. Because we had to miss another day this week, and the Kentucky General Assembly has not moved to grant districts calendar relief yet, we will now use the following. Key Calendar Adjustments: Monday, March 30 & Tuesday, March 31: Now in session for students. Tuesday, May 19 (Election Day): No school for students. While new laws allow school during elections even when a building is a polling place, we are keeping buildings closed to students this year on Election Day to ensure their safety. Monday, May 25 (Memorial Day): Schools will remain closed. Friday, May 29: Graduation. Thursday, June 4: Final day of school for students. It is very important that students attend those final days in June to officially complete the year. Our principals and staff are already working to schedule finals, field trips, and awards ceremonies during that last week to keep the end of the year meaningful and engaging. I fully realize there isn't a perfect solution, but sometimes in life there simply isn't one. This plan allows us to protect the majority of Spring Break, have our buildings closed for students on Election Day, and observe Memorial Day. Thank you for your continued support and flexibility as we work together to finish the year strong. Here is to better weather ahead! Katie Webb, Lawrence County Superintendent
