(LEX 18) — Governor Andy Beshear says schools need to be closed until at least May 1. That's according to a conference call between Governor Beshear and district leaders Thursday afternoon.
Governor Beshear held a conference called with superintendents on March 20, and that's when he announced a two-week extension of suspension of in-person classes, which extended the closure until April 20.
It's reported that students will be expected to continue learning at home.
Some states have canceled in-person classes until May, while others have switched to virtual learning for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.
