Updated District Rules Take Effect as Local Students Return
Radcliff, KY · August 7, 2026
Extra yellow buses are rolling past neighborhood intersections early today, marking the first Friday of the new school term. If you are heading out past school zones this morning, budget an extra five minutes for the local commute.
The Lead
More than 14,000 students across the district returned to classrooms this week to kick off the 2026–2027 academic year, bringing familiar morning traffic routines back to local neighborhoods. District leadership has introduced several policy updates in the new Code of Acceptable Behavior, including a mandatory requirement for student beverage containers. Under the new guidelines, students must use plastic bottles with plastic lids while on campus and on district buses, prohibiting metal water containers to reduce classroom disruptions and potential safety hazards. School officials noted that staff and families are working together to ensure a smooth transition into the fall semester, with safety protocols and bus route timings serving as top priorities during the opening week.
