11-year-old charged in latest...

An 11-year-old female student at Saffell Street Elementary School was charged today with second-degree terroristic threatening after allegedly writing what is described as an “inappropriate message” on a bathroom wall inside of the school, according to information provided by Anderson County Sheriff Joe Milam.

“The message consisted of a non-credible threat but deputies kept an increased presence in the building for the duration of the investigation and additional security measures were in place as a precaution,” Milam said.

Schools to be open Friday amid...

Unlike nearly two other school districts across Kentucky planning to close Friday for an organized teacher protest in Frankfort, Anderson County schools will be open, according to information provided by Superintendent Sheila Mitchell.

Mitchell said the district will send a "delegation of representatives" — teachers who will use their personal time to be away from school and will pay for their own transportation.
