Knox County Public Schools will be CLOSED to in-person instruction Thursday, February 3, and Friday, February 4, 2022. Students will complete assignments #9 and #10 at home.
On Wednesday, the district assessed current employee absences and known cases of students who have tested positive for COVID-19. The extension of this week’s closure is due to the number of exposures to COVID-19 and the unavailability of substitute employees.

- Knox Appalachian School and Knox County CTC will be on a regular schedule Thursday and Friday.
- Students who need paper-copy packets of assignments may visit their school between 8 am and 3 pm.
