The school year was slated to start Thursday in Breathitt County, but the damage left behind by the floods forced district leaders to postpone the start until August 29.
President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden traveled to flood-ravaged Kentucky Monday to visit families affected by the recent devastating floods that killed at least 37 people and damaged hundreds of homes and businesses as Christian charities are on the ground to meet the needs of the victims.
Biden praised the emergency response, including FEMA, which currently has more than 700 federal emergency officials on the ground in the region trying to help people displaced by the flood.
