This morning, while transporting middle school choir students on a field trip, Bus 2072 experienced a blown heater hose that was initially reported as smoke but was later determined to be steam. Out of an abundance of caution, all students were safely evacuated.
The Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Department responded to the scene along with district officials.
We would like to thank the driver for their quick actions, as well as the students for remaining calm and following instructions during the situation.
All students have safely arrived at their destination.

Tonight our 8th grade students had the opportunity to present their Kentucky Projects to the Spencer County Board of Education โ and they absolutely impressed!
These students went above and beyond in both their designs and depth of knowledge. Their research was thoughtful, detailed, and clearly reflected the time and effort they invested in truly understanding their topics.
It was inspiring to see them confidently share their work, answer questions, and showcase the pride they have in their learning. Experiences like this help build communication skills, critical thinking, and leadership โ all qualities that will serve them well beyond the classroom.
We are so proud of our students and thankful for teachers who guide and support this level of excellence.
