Carter County Schools postponed the start of school to Aug. 16 due to COVID cases rising in the county, particularly in school-age children. The school district was set to begin instruction Thursday.
The county currently has 38 school-aged individuals who have tested positive for the virus in recent days, according to Carter County Health Director Jeff Barker.
This number does not include recent positive tests of adults, which includes teachers as well as those of both age groups who are in quarantine. That number is closer to 110-115.
The county is in the red and Barker said the district should be following red county guidelines according to the state. Those guidelines, found on chfs.ky.gov, include increasing vaccination efforts, physical distancing, masking, using outdoor spaces and postponing large public events.
