Kentucky's largest school system will be forced to shut down Thursday after thousands of teachers called in sick as part of a statewide "sickout."
Jefferson County Public Schools said late Wednesday night that it does not have enough substitutes to cover the number of absences reported.
Fayette County Public Schools, the state's second largest district, also announced it would close due to teacher absences.
