Anderson County parent: Re-do bill a great opportunity

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky. (LEX 18) â While many high school seniors are mulling their options for college next year, some students are hoping for a do-over of their last year.
Gov. Andy Beshear signed Senate Bill 128 into law last month. The legislation offers any student enrolled in a Kentucky public or private school in grades K-12 during the 2020-2021 school year to request to use the 2021-2022 school year as a supplemental school year to retake courses or supplement courses they have already taken. Academically, it would be a great opportunity to go back and catch up on some of the things that were missed through this virtual learning, Shawna Fitzpatrick, a parent of an Anderson County High School senior, said.
I don t want to worry about my kids getting sick. I don t want them to worry about me getting sick, she said.
In Anderson County, the school district itself became a vaccine distribution point. It set up two refrigerators with special temperature sensing monitors to store the vaccine until distribution day on Friday.
It plans another virtual learning day for students next month, so staff will be able to get their second doses. There is a hesitation, a little bit, of what will the side effects be, Bray said. But at the same time, I think the benefits far outweigh the risks.
