LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Bullitt County Public Schools will be closed Monday and Tuesday for students due to severe weather and flooding.
The school district posted Sunday that it will be closed Monday due to unsafe conditions. There won’t be school for students on Tuesday as well because “Bullitt Day” was rescheduled for then.
Bullitt County Schools tentatively expects to reopen for students on Wednesday. But a final decision will be made on Tuesday. Parents and staff should prepare for Non-Traditional Instruction.
“While we will continue making decisions one day at a time, families should begin preparing for the possibility of NTI Days through the remainder of the week,” Bullitt County Public Schools posted on Facebook.
The Kentucky National Guard has been deployed to Bullitt County in Lebanon Junction and is on standby for Shepherdsville. Other agencies are enroute as well.
A majority of Lebanon Junction is without power. There are three shelters that are still operational and staffed by Red Cross. Those locations include North Bullitt High School, Roby Elementary School and Lebanon Junction Elementary School.
The Salt River is expected to crest on Monday at 2 p.m. at 37.2 feet.
