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

Schools Continue to See an Increase in Student Engagement Due to Phone Restriction

Five years ago, teachers struggled having students who participated in class. Instead of participating, students were focused on their phones. Even when the teacher requested that they be put away, students were more focused on how to sneak back onto their phones instead of paying attention in class. Now, since the Kentucky phone restriction law has been implemented in schools, teachers feel they have gotten their students back and have noticed a boost in participation and engagement.

St. Xavier soccer caps unbeaten season with latest KHSAA state title

LEXINGTON — After capturing the program’s 18th state championship, only one question remained for the 2026 St. Xavier High School soccer team . Best St. X squad ever? The Tigers stated their case Saturday, Nov. 7, overwhelming Paul Dunbar 5-0 in the championship match of the state tournament at Lexington Sporting Club Stadium . It was a near-perfect finish to a perfect season. “Dunbar had a heck of a season, and they’re a great team," St. X coach Andy Schulten said. "They just caught us on a hot, hot day. Once we got that first goal to go in and then we followed with another, we knew they couldn’t really sit back on us. It was just, ‘Run at them!’” St. X (25-0-1) completed the first undefeated season by a Kentucky boys soccer team since also accomplishing the feat during a 27-0-2 campaign in 2012. The Tigers won their second straight state title and third in the past four years. Along with its No. 1 state ranking, St. X is ranked No. 2 in the nation by United Soccer Coaches . The only blemish on its record was a 1-1 tie against Cleveland St. Ignatius on Sept. 26. St. X
