In January, the KHSAA (Kentucky High School Athletic Association) Board of Control approved a request from Monroe County High School to return to district 16. Monroe moved out of the district in 2005, and at the same time, Russell County moved in. The current realignment does not require a school to move out of district 16, which means five teams will compete in post-season tournaments.

Gov. Beshear Provides COVID-19 Update By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear and Department for Public Health Commissioner Dr. Steven Stack discussed Friday's updated guidance and data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and provided information on living as safely as possible with COVID. The CDC is now using a new "community transmission" model that uses the number of new COVID-19 cases at a county level, percent of hospital capacity devoted to COVID-19 patients and the number of new patients with COVID admitted to the hospital in the past week. This data is produced, mapped and will be updated weekly at the county level on the CDC website. The Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) will take the data file produced by the CDC and use it to generate a three-tiered, stoplight-colored map that will be posted on kycovid19.ky.gov to make it easy for Kentuckians to quickly see the transmission level for their own county. This will be updated weekly when the CDC shares and posts its new data. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2022-03-01 06:01:11 | Comments | Printable version
