Breckinridge County Schools Superintendent Dr. Nick Carter says it is good to be back.
“We just finished up a terrific opening day in the school district for all staff,” Carter said. “We started the morning out, the entire district, we had breakfast at Breckinridge County High School and had some welcoming activities, and it’s been a great day.”
The district has a professional development day on the calendar Tuesday, then will welcome students back to school on Wednesday. Carter says as the school year gets under way be sure to look out for kids coming to and from school.
“Those yellow buses will be moving throughout Breckinridge County on Wednesday, so I just want to call that to everyone’s attention,” Carter said. “Through the summer months, as drivers we get a little bit used to those buses not being on the roads as much, and starting on Wednesday those buses will be on the roads every morning and every afternoon, Monday through Friday, so I just want to caution everyone to be patient and use some caution whenever they’re around them.”
Carter says he is excited to see BCS families continue to progress from the setbacks in education that were seen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It was really hard on students and families, and teachers and staff in our districts and our schools, and so every year past the pandemic is another great year as we’re continuing to address learning loss and address social and emotional needs, and so I’m just really excited about starting another year post-pandemic and continuing that great work,” Carter said.
