August 4th, the Pike County Board of Education called a special meeting to decide on delaying the start of school in the aftermath of flooding across the county. The board approved moving the start day of the school year from August 11th to August 18th. We were up in hollows yesterday and in my opinion they wasn't ready for buses to go up, them hollows and everything. And what's on people's mind now is getting through this instead of getting their kids back to school, to be honest with you. That's the last thing I want to remind you. Yeah, like Mr. Blankenship said, we assessed some bus routes yesterday. Several areas still impassable and a lot of bridges washed out in both of our districts so it would be really hard at this time to get kids to school. While no schools were damaged in the flooding, many residents lost their homes and personal belongings. Shelby Valley Elementary is also unable to prepare for the school year as it is currently operating as a distribution hub and housing over 80 displaced residents. I think we're going to have to look at transitioning out of the school and everything because they're going to have to get the school ready for the kids. It's going to be a priority and the next few days is transitioning from maybe go to other centers with it and everything. The board will reassess the matter before the start of the school year to see if further delay is necessary. For Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
