Several schools in Kentucky and Indiana are taking precautionary measures due to inclement weather by either closing or transitioning to non-traditional instruction (NTI) days. The decision to close or switch to NTI is aimed at ensuring the safety of students and staff during severe weather conditions.
In Kentucky, multiple school districts including Jefferson County Public Schools, Oldham County Schools, Bullitt County Public Schools, and Hardin County Schools have announced closings for the day. Additionally, some schools in southern Indiana such as Greater Clark County Schools and New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated Schools are also closed due to the weather.
Other schools in both states have opted for NTI days, where students participate in online learning activities from home. This allows for continued education despite the school building being closed. Schools in Trimble County, Kentucky and at least one school in southern Indiana have made the decision to transition to NTI for the day.
The decisions to close or move to NTI are made in consideration of student safety, as severe weather can make traveling to and from school hazardous. These precautions are in line with school districts’ priorities of prioritizing the well-being of students and staff above all else.
Families are encouraged to stay updated on any changes or updates from their respective school districts regarding closures or NTI days. It is important to follow any guidelines or instructions provided by the schools to ensure a smooth transition during inclement weather. Students, parents, and staff are reminded to stay safe and take necessary precautions during severe weather events.
