Frigid temps and maybe more snow Thursday in KY. What it means for Fayette schools

Due to continued frigid temperatures and the potential for additional snow accumulation in the forecast Wednesday night for the Lexington area, Fayette County Public Schools is canceling in-person classes for Thursday, February 20.

It will be the district’s seventh non-traditional, or at-home, instruction day this school year, district spokesperson Dia Davidson-Smith said Wednesday.

Under Kentucky law, school districts are allowed to designate 10 NTI days each school year.

Several other Kentucky school districts, including Clark County, have also canceled in-person classes Thursday.

On Thursday afternoon, Davidson-Smith announced all Fayette County Public Schools after-school and evening activities were canceled for Thursday as well.
