Daily News for Tuesday, June 2, 2020
Governor's update on events in Louisville, COVID-19 By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday updated Kentuckians on demonstrations in Louisville and the state's continuing measures to address the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). "As we move forward, we will be reducing our National Guard presence in Louisville," the Governor said. "That is a recommendation by our adjutant general that we will be following." Gov. Beshear talked about the search for justice for Breonna Taylor, a Louisville woman whose death touched off the protests there. "Yesterday, I met with Breonna Taylor's mother before she came up here. I sat and I listened. What I heard was a mother in pain. She wants justice and the truth. She deserves both," the Governor said. "Breonna's death along with others across the country have led to thousands of people giving voice and a demand for truly equal treatment under the law and an end to injustices that permeate almost every part of our society."

LRC: Educators discuss teaching during COVID-19 By Jim Hannah, LRC Frankfort, KY - A legislative panel was briefed today on the challenges COVID-19 poses to reopening public schools across the state. "Schools are a major part of the economy," Oldham County Schools Superintendent Greg Schultz said while testifying before the Interim Joint Committee on Education. "We recognize that. We want to be open. We want to incorporate safe and healthy practices in regards to COVID, but to be able to do so, the requirements must be doable." Schultz gave a presentation on superintendents' concerns related to the pandemic via video chat while committee members practiced social distancing by sitting at least six feet apart or also using video chat to participate in the meeting. Schultz said policymakers needed to balance what could realistically be done with ideal public health protocols. For example, Schultz said guidance that urged one student per seat in every other row of a school bus was unfeasible. "There is just no way most school districts will be able to get their students to school in a timely fashion or a cost-effective fashion under that guidance," he said. Social distancing would also be a problem in the school building.

Letter: Recycle Center reopening, questions Debbie Nobles writes: First, a huge Thank You to the Recycle Center for reopening! I have been rinsing, sorting & bagging my recyclables for months now (I used to make a weekly run). I literally had a carload of paper, plastic, cardboard & aluminum. The man there was very nice & helpful. I'm sure he was busy today as he told me they have no work release help right now. Second, he wanted me to know (and let others know) they ONLY accept milk jugs & bottles for plastic. I felt bad because I brought 2 large bags of anything plastic with the recycle symbol.
