From CCBOE: 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.
From CCBOE: Monday February 9, 2026 will be an NTI day for Carter County schools. All staff, if able, should report to their schools to plan and prepare for students to return on Tuesday. We will be looking at roads tomorrow as the temperature warms. Our Monday communication will share bus transportation information and any roads buses will not be able to travel.

A note from Coach Huffman:
NTI Schedule:
From CCBOE:
Due to black ice especially on side roads across the county Carter County Schools will
be on NTI day today Thursday January 22. The special SBDM meeting for Star and Carter City at 5 pm will still meet.
From the CCBOE:
We will be in regular session tomorrow, January 20, 2026. We do know temperatures are expected to be very cold. Student safety is important to us, and we ask families to please make sure students are dressed warmly with coats, hats, and gloves especially for arrival and dismissal.
It is important that we take advantage of instructional days when road conditions are clear, as this helps us avoid extending the school year if additional snow days occur. Thank you for your partnership in keeping students safe and learning.
Also, please note again the difference between our district updates and the Carter Co in TN. Their updates are being shared by our community so be sure to look for our logo!
📚💛🖤 We want to extend our sincere thanks to the Carter County Board of Education for their continued dedication, leadership, and support of our students, educators, and schools. Your commitment to providing opportunities, resources, and a strong learning environment makes a lasting difference in the lives of our students and our community. Thank you for all that you do—your hard work does not go unnoticed. 🖤💛📚
😷FCCLA Event Canceled due to illness😷
From the CCBOE:
Tomorrow, Friday January 16, 2026, school will be canceled in Carter County due to illness. This is NOT an NTI day. We have large numbers of staff and students out and local health providers have indicated flu and Covid numbers are high. Elementary basketball Saturday is canceled. District athletics and academics will still be played because they either cannot be made up or there is too much unpredictability in possibility of scheduling. Also, as a reminder, we do not have school Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr day. Please use this long weekend to rest and get well.
