The final round of public forums relating to the redistricting of Oldham County schools was held Thursday night at Oldham County High School. In all, the school district has held nine meetings allowing the public to see the proposed changes and offer some suggestions.

On Thursday, Michael Williams, director of pupil personnel at the schools, unveiled four new proposals of how the schools would make up for the loss of Liberty Elementary which is in its final year. Parents got to see the outlines for the new districts and voice their opinions on them.

Your kids may disagree with me, but I think the first day of school is one of the best days of the year. It’s a day full of promise, of excitement, of change. It’s a milestone — for parents and students — that marks another chapter in life.

When your children head off for their first day this year, know that our staff members at Oldham County Schools are committed to continuing the tradition of excellence in our district.
