Gov. Andy Beshear released his executive order Friday that provides guidance for returning students to in-person classes in January.
Local school districts had been holding off any decisions about setting in-person dates until the anticipated order was issued.
Students with Owensboro Public Schools will finish the first semester of classes virtually, which means the earliest city students could resume in-person learning is in mid-January.
OPS officials made the decision to remain on all-virtual learning though Jan. 13 on Friday.
Beshearâs executive order recommended schools stay with virtual learning until at least Jan. 11.
Meanwhile, Owensboro Catholic Schools officials are going ahead, for now, with plans to resume in-person classes on Jan. 5, although Chief Administrative Officer Keith Osborne said that could change with COVID-19 case numbers in the county.
Vaccine could be available to educators by early February or sooner
