LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) The Christmas Day explosion in Nashville continues to impact communication services in Kentucky, including more than two dozen school districts.Â
Toni Konz Tatman with the Kentucky Department of Education says about 29 schools were still without internet services as of Sunday evening.
Most of our education technology services are in the cloud & there are a variety of paths to get to those services. There shouldnât be anything major that @KyDeptofEd or our districts canât access, if they need to access them, during the winter break. #KyEd Toni Konz Tatman (@tkonz) December 27, 2020
Tatman added that schools shouldn t have any major problems because most services are in the cloud. Schools are still on winter break for a few more days.

Kentucky school districts have had their internet access restored after a Christmas Day bombing in Nashville knocked out networks across the region.
The explosion damaged an AT&T building causing widespread service outages across the region including in Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Indiana.
The network was down this weekend for nearly 60 Kentucky school districts, along with the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) offices in Frankfort, according to KDE spokeswoman Toni Konz Tatman.
“This appears to be concentrated basically in central Kentucky and far western Kentucky,” she said. “Though it did reach Anchorage Independent up in Louisville.”
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) Kentucky superintendents hope Gov. Andy Beshearâs guidance for offering in-person instruction in counties hit hardest by COVID-19 will include more data and changes to the stateâs coronavirus incidence rate map, which Beshear defended Thursday as some of the best data available to the state.
The Kentucky Association of School Superintendents submitted its reopening recommendations Wednesday. Among its suggestions, KASS wants the state to âabandon a single metricâ and include factors like local hospitalizations, intensive care admissions and school-level quarantine numbers in determining when it is safe for in-person instruction.
The governor said Thursday that his guidance may come as soon as Monday or, at the latest, Tuesday.
