Mayor Kuykendall explained that the water department’s telemetry computer, which monitors the tower levels and pump activity, had crashed.

After the coach shared her stance on social media, the district said there was a miscommunication over policies on student expression. FULL STORY: KY cheerleaders chanted in school hallway, ‘We’re team Jesus.’ Why it led to concern Here are five things to know from the story: The chant happened Monday at Crittenden County Elementary School during a walk-through honoring the third- and fourth-grade Junior Pro cheerleading squad after their first-place finish in a competition over the weekend. Coach Brittany Buell-Schneider said the chant was unplanned and started by the girls themselves.

Under Kentucky law, public school students can voluntarily pray and share religious or political viewpoints in assignments, speech, literature and clothing, provided they don’t disrupt or coerce others. Driver said district and school leaders will review policies on
