Several school districts in Kentucky, including Lee County School District and Magoffin County Schools, have closed due to a surge in illnesses among students and staff. The closures were necessary as attendance rates dropped below the threshold needed to safely operate in-person classes. The illnesses reported include COVID-19, influenza, strep throat, and stomach viruses.
