Carter County Schools does not have a district contract with any school photography company. No school will be using Lifetouch due to the safety and security concerns that have been shared about that national company. Local schools have choice in the photographer selected for school pictures but again it will NOT be Lifetouch.
Good Luck to our high school students competing in the Region Governor's Cup Academic Competition this week!
Carter County Schools will be in session on regular schedule Monday February 16, 2026. Buses will run regular routes.

Carter County Schools will operate on the same schedule for Friday (Feb 13, 2026) as we did today (2 hour delay and revised bus route). If there are any additional changes to the bus routes the driver will communicate directly with families. This is to allow more daylight to be able to safely see road surfaces and any icy spots.

Carter County Schools WILL be on a 2 hour delay today, Thursday February 12, 2026. Two more revisions to bus routes: Bus 56 east end won’t be going down 4 mile or Fultz road. They will meet at the junction of 1661 pickup at 9:30 am. Bus 14 Campbell Hollow meet at 773 at 8:40am.
Bus 79 route time has been corrected (Greenbrier Rd meet at the end of the road at 8:10 and Jones Branch meet at the end of the road at 8:40). Corrected images attached.
I apologize for the late post but we have been working on a plan for tomorrow, Thursday February 12, 2026. Our plan is to operate on a 2 hour delay with modified bus routes detailed in the pictures I am sharing in text, email and Facebook. HOWEVER, families need to have a "backup" plan in case we have significant refreezing of roads. We will make the final decision as close to 7:00 a.m. as possible but it may not be before then. We need to check our routes again which is the purpose of the 2 hour delay. Student and staff safety is my priority and will be the basis for the final decision in the morning.

Tomorrow, Wednesday 2.11.26 will be a snow day for Carter County Schools (KY). Bus routes remain icy and there are not adequate places for bus turnarounds. Freezing temps tonight add to our concern.

The sunshine just didn't happen today and side roads/bus turnarounds are just not safe enough to have school. Therefore on February 10, 2026 Carter County Schools (KY) are having NTI Day #10. This will conclude our NTI days so students should have all NTI work completed after tomorrow.
