"Nelson County Schools Face Protests and Staff Shortage, Resulting in Closures"
Nelson County Schools in Kentucky will be closed on Thursday due to a staffing shortage. Earlier, students and staff members protested against a possible merger between Thomas Nelson and Nelson County High Schools. The school board voted 3 to 2 to continue developing the merger plan, prompting student demonstrations. All 12 schools in the district will be closed on Thursday, but it will not be a remote learning day.
