Jefferson County Public Schools will welcome back more than 96,000 students on Wednesday for the new school year.
Shawnee students explored their new learning spaces on the formerly condemned third floor Wednesday while masked, like other students at JCPS and throughout Kentucky amid the recent surge of COVID-19 cases.
Last month, school boards across the Bluegrass State voted overwhelmingly to keep masks on students and staffs while at school, at a time when virus cases were surging.
