LOUISVILLE, Ky. At long last, some of Louisville s public school students are back in classrooms.
In-person classes resumed Wednesday for about 7,000 kindergarten through second grade students in Jefferson County Public Schools, the first time kids in Kentucky s largest district entered classrooms since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted life last March.
Teachers and staff were buzzing with excitement at Bowen Elementary, 1601 Roosevelt Ave., before the first buses and cars with students arrived around 8:30 a.m.
