Spencer County Community; I hope this message finds you safe and well. As you know, our area faced a significant weather event that resulted in the cancellation of school on Friday, September 27, 2024. While decisions like these often prompt varied opinions, the safety and well-being of our students and staff will always be our top priority. On Friday, several of our schools—TES, SCHS, SCMS, and SCES—did experience power outages, and some areas within Spencer County were without power into the weekend. Any time that one of our schools goes without power there are obvious safety concerns, challenges serving meals, and loss of communication. Additionally, I realize that communication on Friday morning was not as smooth as it should have been. I apologize for any confusion or frustration this may have caused. We went to work on getting the issue rectified immediately and were able to identify and correct the cause that led to some not receiving the notification email/text/call on Friday morning. To be certain, we will be conducting tests over the next two weeks to verify that any remaining issue(s) have been corrected prior to Fall Break. Lastly, we will be required to make up for Friday’s cancellation. We will address that in the future as we gain a better handle on the impact of winter weather over the coming months. Your patience and grace are greatly appreciated. Do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. Have a great week! Best, Dr. Willie Foster Superintendent, Spencer County Schools willie.foster@spencer.kyschools.us (502) 477 - 3250

She works exceptionally well with special needs students, fostering an environment of encouragement and personalized support. Her ability to connect with each student individually allows her to assess their unique strengths, interests, and needs, which helps her tailor job placements and skill-building activities effectively.
