Southern Kentucky school district on one-hour delay after inmates escape from local jail
Casey County Schools are operating on a one-hour delay Thursday after two inmates escaped from the local jail, according to Superintendent Barry Lee.
Lee wrote in a Facebook post that the decision was made to ensure student safety and to give officials more time to receive information.
“With this erratic behavior from the inmates, we cannot take a chance of an inmate getting on a school bus and jeopardizing the safety of our students and staff,” Lee wrote in a Facebook post.
No information about the inmates or how they escaped has been released.
This is a developing story and may be updated.
