Kentucky School To Get National Exposure
KENTUCKY....
A Kentucky elementary school is about to get some national exposure. Recently, Fannie Bush Elementary School in Clark County, about 16 miles east of Lexington, got a visit from “People” magazine. People plans to include the school in an article on the six worst school buildings in the United States. Principal Angie Taylor says People is working on a story highlighting the difficulties of educating students in less-than-desirable conditions. Taylor says her staff deals on a daily basis with having only one bathroom to serve more than 300 students, one entrance into the facility, having to load children onto buses lined up on Main Street and having a gymnasium that also serves as the cafeteria. This year, the school has had to deal with sewage backing up into the school due to collapsed sewer lines. School officials hope the publicity will shine some light on the problem and spur state officials to take action.
