Due to the forecast for winter weather and “out of an abundance of caution,” Fayette County Public Schools officials have canceled in-person classes for Tuesday, February 11, 2025.

Spokesperson Dia Davidson-Smith said Tuesday will be the district’s fifth at-home, or non-traditional, instruction day of the school year.

Madison and Clark County schools said on Facebook that they would have NTI days Tuesday too.

Gov. Andy Beshear also closed all executive branch offices Tuesday because of the forecast. Essential employees would work remotely, he said.
