All athletic coaches and band directors in the Laurel County Public Schools system received pink slips last week.
According to the Times-Tribune, each coach and band director in the county was notified of the decision through an email that stated that their current contract of employment would not be renewed for the following school year.
Here is a release from Laurel County Public Schools:
“The Kentucky Department of Education recommended that all athletic coaches receive non-renewal letters for the upcoming athletic season due to the uncertainty of when school athletics will resume. Per the order by Governor Beshear, all athletic and extra-curricular activities are canceled through at least May 31.
