According to Adam Wells of WPSD in Paducah, the Kentucky Department of Education has called a special meeting for Friday to discuss the KHSAA’s decision on fall sports.

The Kentucky Department of Education is an agency within the Government of Kentucky that is responsible for regulating education in the state.
This will not be pleasant if the KDE overturns the decision made by the KHSAA. Hold on folks…. https://t.co/PSIJ7NfGrp

I’ll say this: If this is true and is more than KDE signing off on full @KHSAA plan, then having Beshear and Stack do what they did Monday will just be a cruel joke. And there’s going to be another storm this weekend. https://t.co/cdSgkyfXtT
