Education

The season of gift giving is not yet over for Oldham County public schools.
E-books, iPads, web cameras, flip videos and even kinesthetic brains are examples of the latest technology soon to land in students’ hands thanks to 22 grants received by district teachers.

Oldham County Schools are closed Monday, Dec. 13 due to inclement weather.

School officials announced their decision about 10 p.m. Sunday.

Citing rising utility costs and maintenance problems, school officials have announced that Liberty Elementary will close at the end of the 2013-14 school year.
Oldham County Schools Superintendent Paul Upchurch distributed a letter to parents Tuesday explaining the decision to close the 87-year-old facility.
The decision comes after years of maintenance and utility needs, which have included mold and air conditioning problems, among other infrastructure concerns.
Roughly 400 students attend Liberty.

 South Oldham Middle School students competed in the regional RCX competition in March at Henry County Middle School.
