This story has been updated to include information from Barnard Baker's resignation letter. Another top staffer within Jefferson County Public Schools is resigning from his position just months into the job.

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

High school football rankings: USA TODAY Sports Super 15 Midwest region, Week 13

The Midwest Region has entered the postseason of the high school football season. Following first- and second-round playoff matchups, depending on the state, there was no movement in USA TODAY Sports' Midwest Region Super 15 rankings, according to the latest USA TODAY Sports Super 25 rankings. The chalk week leads to another week of Brownsburg (IN) maintaining its stranglehold on the top spot following a dominant 42-7 victory over Ben Davis (IN). The Bulldogs have maintained the top spot since Week 5, after seeing the spot up for grabs four times in the first six weeks. Meanwhile, No. 2 Trinity (Louisville, KY) is coming off another shutout win, following its 49-0 win over Pleasure Ridge Park (KY), while No. 3 East St. Louis continues handling its opponents with a 64-6 win over St. Patrick (IL) in second-round IHSA playoff play. One thing is for sure: for next week's rankings, there will be change, as No. 6 Massillion and No. 8 Big Walnut face off in the Ohio postseason. Here are USA TODAY Sports' Week 13 Midwest Region Super 15 rankings. 1. Brownsburg (IN) Record: 11-0 Previous Rank: 1 Last Result: Brownsburg 42, Ben Davis (IN) 7 2. Trinity (Louisville, KY)

South Oldham girls soccer stopped by Central Hardin in KHSAA state final

LEXINGTON — An early goal and a shutdown defense was all Central Hardin High School needed to capture its first girls soccer state championship. Audrey McGee scored in the sixth minute as Central Hardin beat South Oldham 1-0 on Saturday, Nov. 7, in the championship match of the state tournament at Lexington Sporting Club Stadium . Senior goalkeeper Hannah Ferguson and tournament MVP Gabrielle Callahan took care of the rest, anchoring a Central Hardin defense that posted its 14th straight shutout and 24th of the season. The Bruins allowed just six goals all year. “Our whole team plays really hard,” Central Hardin coach Justin Maddock said. “If you look at the end, we’ve got our forwards up there sliding and tackling and making blocks. And when you have a talented back line and goalkeeper, that makes it even harder.” Ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 4 in the nation by United Soccer Coaches , Central Hardin (25-0-3) became Kentucky's first undefeated state champion since Notre Dame went 28-0-1 in 2021. Central Hardin also became just the second public school in seven years to win the state title. “We proved that with the right people and the right coaching,
