Updated Information: US 31W Bridge Repair Project in Munfordville Moved to Spring
ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (October 30th, 2026) - Due to timeline constraints with availability of materials and schedules extending into restricted holiday weekends, along with peak winter weather potential late December into January, repair work on the US 31W Bridge in Munfordville is being rescheduled for next spring.
As originally announced earlier this month, the project involves steel repairs underneath the bridge deck along with expansion joint seal replacements and minor concrete work on the upper side of the bridge deck. Steel repairs will restore the structure's weight rating to its full capacity, while joint seal replacements will better protect bridge components beneath the deck from moisture. The scheduled concrete work will provide a smoother transition between spans.
The bridge will be reduced to one lane with temporary traffic signals for the majority of the project. Completion of the job will also require up to four weekend full closures. Work requiring a single lane closure across the bridge is now estimated to begin in late March, with full weekend closures to take place mid-April.
Multiagency collaboration with local officials, emergency management and state transportation officials was conducted during a meeting a few weeks ago to make preparations for these weekend closures. Detour and emergency services information will be included with a public announcement next spring ahead of construction.

2025-2026 KSA Results
Each spring, students across Kentucky take state assessment tests known as KSA which stands for the Kentucky Summative Assessment. This annual statewide testing program is given to public school students in grades 3 through 8, 10, and 11. It is designed to check student proficiency and progress based on the state academic standards in subjects like reading, mathematics, science, social studies, and writing. For KSA, students receive a separate scale score and performance level (Distinguished, Proficient, Apprentice, and Novice). Your child’s individual scores will be sent home by your child’s school very soon. Additionally, Kentucky uses a five-color rating system to evaluate overall school performance, ranging from red (the lowest) through orange, yellow, and green, to blue (the highest). The ratings consider several measures of academic achievement and school quality, including test performance, school climate and safety, and at the high school level, graduation rates and postsecondary readiness.
We are proud to share the following accomplishments from our 2025-2026 KSA test results:
> There were fewer Novice scores across the district in 3rd grade Reading, 7th grade Reading, 7th grade Science, and 11th grade Writing.
> There were increases in the percentage of Proficient and Distinguished scores across the district in 3rd grade Reading and Math, 4th grade Math, 6th grade Reading and Math, 7th grade Reading and Science, and 11th grade Writing.
> Our Middle School students across the district showed increases in Science, Social Studies, and Writing scores.
> As a district, our Quality of School Climate and Safety was rated as “High” for Elementary and Middle schools and “Very High” for the high school.
> The high school saw an increase in Postsecondary Readiness and its Graduation Rate.
Additionally, we are excited to share that the high school ranked 3rd in our Region overall, was in the Top 5 in all tested areas in the Region, and ranks 1st in the Region on the last four year average!
We are also thrilled to share that student attendance has averaged 94% or higher for the first two months of the school year which is about a quarter percentage higher than the two previous school years.
We continue to focus on using student testing data to positively impact the instruction and interventions used in each school to help each student achieve academic growth and success. Thanks to our parents and guardians for your continued support and encouragement as we work together to educate our future.

Dear Raider Families,
As we prepare for another exciting year of athletics, we want to thank you for your ongoing support of our student-athletes, coaches, and programs.
Due to the rising operational costs of hosting athletic events, general single-game admission prices for the 2026–2027 school year will increase by $1, making regular single-game tickets $8 per person.
However, thanks to the immense generosity of our athletic donors and community partners, we are thrilled to announce several new opportunities to keep our games accessible and affordable for families and students:

These Raider Spirit Cards will be sold at all middle schools.
