Different days off for Fayette and Jessamine schools ‘play havoc' with families

Some families who have children attending schools in both Jessamine and adjoining Fayette County tell Jessamine School Board Chair Steven Scrivner that the districts having different days off “does play havoc.” So on Friday morning, Scrivner sent an email to his counterparts in Fayette County to see if the two districts can better align their fall and spring breaks and other days off going forward. “Many of our teachers and staff live in one county and work in the other. A number of families have children in both districts and youth sports draw from both communities. When our breaks fall on different weeks, those families end up arranging childcare and time off twice, and teams lose players for practices and games,” he said. Scrivner told the Herald-Leader that Jessamine County takes out-of-district students. If a family moves from Fayette to Jessamine County and has a high school student who wants to finish up at Fayette’s Paul Laurence Dunbar, their younger child might be newly enrolled in a Jessamine County middle school. He asked if leaders from the two districts could meet. By Friday afternoon, Fayette school board chairman Tyler Murphy had a response: “I spoke with our Interim Superintendent (Bill

Kentucky Residents Say These Are the 5 Best Fast Food Chains in the State. Fair Picks?

Fast food in Kentucky has a different feel than it does in a lot of states.

Breeders' Cup Comes Up Empty for Most of the West Coast

With the exception of Bob Baffert and his merry band of traveling players, trainers based in California came away from the 43rd Breeders' Cup Championships Oct. 30-31 at Keeneland with a few minor placings and bags of meaningless souvenirs. Without a doubt, to ship fit, accomplished Thoroughbreds so far for so little can be discouraging. A 1-for-14 strike rate in the win column is grim.

Kenny Minchey’s numbers don’t tell the whole story in blowout loss to Tennessee

Kentucky Football’s offense repeatedly shot itself in the foot against Tennessee, but quarterback Kenny Minchey did everything he could to give his team a fighting chance. A couple of bad calls and dumb penalties undid that. When a team loses, the quarterback naturally absorbs the bulk of the blame.

Former Lexington councilwoman makes bid to be chair of Republican National Committee

Lexington-based KC Crosbie has announced her bid to become chairwoman of the Republican National Committee just days after the GOP lost control of the U.S. House and Senate, a historic win for Democrats. Crosbie was first elected co-chair of the RNC in January 2025, shortly after President Donald Trump took office. Crosbie has been a long-time supporter of Trump, according to Crosbie’s biographical information on the RNC’s website. Crosbie currently serves as co-chair with Joe Gruters. In a letter posted across social media, Crosbie said the party must analyze what went wrong and why. “We owe ourselves an honest account of why,” Crosbie wrote in the Nov. 5 letter to party members. “Voters were focused on the cost of living and the direction of our country.” Crosbie also said the RNC needs to tap the expertise of state party leaders on reforms and changes. “RNC members should have a meaningful voice in the decisions that shape our party,” Crosbie said. “We were elected by Republicans in our states to help lead the Party and shape its most important decisions. I believe the RNC has fallen short of that responsibility and I hope to see that change.” That’s why Crosbie said

Kentucky racking up 361 empty yards against Tennessee is the ultimate offensive tease

Kentucky Football held the ball for over 35 minutes and racked up 361 total yards against Tennessee, but that box score dominance was nothing more than a frustrating illusion. You cannot control the clock, consistently move the chains, and still lose by 28 points without a catastrophic inability to finish drives.

NC State falls to Kentucky at Ally Tipoff. Observations from the Top 25 matchup

N.C. State’s near-annual trip to Charlotte for the Ally Tipoff has not been kind. The Wolfpack made its third straight appearance in the early season and recorded its third double-digit loss in the event. Sunday’s matchup against No. 14 Kentucky was the largest margin of defeat, despite Khamil Pierre’s impressive offensive output. The senior scored 34 points — her highest total as a Wolfpack player — in N.C. State’s 93-78 loss to the Wildcats at Spectrum Center. “It’s cool, but I think I understand I can score,” Pierre said. “I don’t think I scored with good efficiency today, and, at the end of the day, we still lost, so it just sucks.” The Wolfpack (2-1) trailed by as many as 16 points in the first quarter after Kentucky hit eight of its first shots. Pierre scored 18 first-quarter points for N.C. State, second most in school history, and went 8 for 10 from the field. It used an 8-0 run in the second quarter to take a 34-32 lead, its only lead, before the Wildcats responded. “I was proud of the fact that our kids competed, kept competing, even though we dug a big hole,” N.C. State head coach Wes
