For a monthly Adair County School Board meeting, there are normally more vehicles outside and people in attendance. The March 2020 meeting Tuesday night was light of traffic because only ten people were allowed in the board room to comply with Gov. Beshear's calls to help curb the spread of COVID-19. The meeting was also shown live on YouTube under Adair County Schools. Academic Dean Phyllis Curry was granted authority by the board to enter into the NTI (Non-Traditional Instruction) program which allows school to remain in session under the new methods of communication without gathering in classrooms. Prior to the inception of NTI, Kentucky school districts lost many days of school due to bad weather. Adair County Public Schools are in session only online now through April 10, 2020. Instructional packets for school-at-home are being distributed today and tomorrow, Thursday, March 19, and Friday, March 20, 2020. Comments | Permalink

Water is everywhere as we start spring 2020. This picture comes from slowing way down and aiming the cell phone camera at the roadside on Hwy. 61 south in Cumberland County, KY. Comments | Permalink

Strange feeling with just a hand full of people out

Trucks were lined up in the parking lot at Walmart 9:30pm. I counted 5. Few shoppers still out. Most other businesses already closed and lights out. This is a strange feeling seeing just a hand full of people on the roads. Mostly trucks passing. Saw a Dollar General truck pass on the parkway.
We understand the third shift of Walmart is still working even though the store is closed to customers between 11pm and 6amCT. Restocking is being done as fast as possible. Comments | Permalink
