Governor: We are vaccinating people faster than we get doses By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Monday, Gov. Andy Beshear and other state officials updated Kentuckians on the state's vaccine rollout and announced the state's third straight week of declining cases and its fourth day in a row with a positivity rate below 9%. "Remember, we are vaccinating people faster than we get doses from the federal government, and if you're having a hard time signing up, it's because there just aren't enough doses. But we are working hard and everybody is going to get their turn," said Gov. Beshear. For the past four weeks, Kentucky has administered more initial doses than it received from the federal government. The Governor reminded Kentuckians that the state can vaccinate up to 250,000 people per week: the only limiting factor for vaccine distribution is supply.

Mail-in renewal option for expiring driver's licenses expanded By Naitore Djigbenou Frankfort, KY - To minimize the spread of COVID-19, Gov.

The order applies to Kentucky driver's licenses, permits and state-issued identification cards that expired or will expire by June 30, 2021.

ACMS Academic Team Wins Regional Championship By Brett Reliford The Adair County Middle School Academic Team made history Saturday, January 30, by becoming the Governor's Cup Regional Champions for Region 11. The competition was the head-to-head battle against District winners from across the Region, and winners at the Region event earned the right to advance to the Governor's Cup State Championships. During the final standings at the awards ceremony, Adair stood as the overall winner in a very competitive Region 11. From the coach's seat: "As most people have experienced, operating in a virtual learning year has come with challenges, and I cannot say enough about the effort from our competitors that it took to accomplish this year's championship. I have noted this several times in the past about the level of accomplishment that comes with winning a Regional Championship and what that means: having been a part of both Academic Team and sports settings, the jubilation and feeling that we have when we are able to come out on top in any year where the title Regional Champion is earned is very similar in either setting. The off-season work, the August-February week-in and week-out practices that it takes to be able to stay competitive and eventually come out on top is very similar to the level of dedication it takes in any ultra-competitive experience. I am so proud of the level of achievement for these students, and if you recognize any of the names in the team accomplishments below--if they are a neighbor, a schoolmate, a child of a co-worker, etc.--pass along your congratulations to them. They are a great group of students to be able to work with, and as a coach, my hope is that they are able to feel at least an ounce of the pride in themselves that I feel toward them about their achievements."

Adair Public Schools on a virtual/snow day In a 4:36am phone announcement, Superintendent Pamela Stephens announced Adair County Public Schools will be all-virtual today, Monday, February 1, 2021, due to the weather.

However, the pandemic has enabled students, teachers, staff and families to be able to make education happen from all corners thanks to the Internet, no matter the weather outside. Dr. Stephens reminds everyone to be safe in the snow and back on campus tomorrow. Most surrounding schools are reporting the same as this is posted - Taylor, Green, Casey and Metcalfe are confirmed.
