Latonia Elementary to Reopen Jan. 13 as Covington Schools Return Jan. 12

The district used a state-mandated NTI shift for all schools during safety work.

Overview

  • Superintendent Alvin Garrison said Latonia Elementary students return to in-person classes Tuesday, Jan. 13, with all other Covington students back Monday, Jan. 12.
  • Latonia families are invited to an open house at the school Monday at 3 p.m. with administrators and engineers available for questions.
  • The campus has been secured and crews have removed much of the damaged gym while structural and environmental assessments continue.
  • Under Kentucky Department of Education rules, NTI must be implemented districtwide when a health or safety closure occurs.
  • The roof partially collapsed on New Year’s Eve during winter break, causing no injuries, and parents have voiced concerns about communication and childcare disruptions.
