Thursday marked the sixth “sick out” for Jefferson County Public Schools in two weeks and the third consecutive day schools have been called off due to teacher shortages.
The board passed a resolution saying teachers are worried there will be retribution from the state if their names are turned over.
JCPS teachers have staged six “sick outs” during this year’s legislative session, essentially calling out sick in order to shut down Kentucky’s largest school district to protest legislation at the Capitol.
