LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The last day of school has changed for students in Oldham and Bullitt counties.
The Oldham County Schools board has approved a new school year calendar that will make May 19 the last day of school.
The district said on Twitter Monday that it changed the date because the state is allowing districts to meet the 1,062 required instructional hours in fewer than 170 school days. The district planned to send more information to families Tuesday.
