Non-tradition instruction, or NTI will continue for the remainder of the school year. It's reported that Governor Beshear instructed superintendents to post about the closure on social media.
Earlier this month, Governor Andy Beshear recommended that schools needed to be closed until May 1.
Monday's announcement comes after neighboring states Tennessee and Ohio made the same announcement.
