A widespread flu outbreak has once again resulted in a campus-wide school closing at KDS.
A high number of student and employee absences at KDS and the other Marshall County Schools since the beginning of 2019 culminated in a system-wide shut-down on Monday, January 28 and Tuesday, January 29.
When school resumed on Wednesday, there were nearly 250 KDS students absent at the start of the day, and more were sent home sick throughout the day. These staggering figures, along with similar attendance figures elsewhere in Marshall County, prompted the decision to close school for the remainder of the week - Thursday, January 31 and Friday, February 1 - to give students time to recover and school officials time to sanitize facilities.
