KNOX COUNTY, Ky. (FOX 56) — Knox County schools will be making changes to the school day starting Monday to make up for lost time in the classroom.

The day will also end 10 minutes later.
The school district has reportedly used 10 NTI days, 18 weather or 'safety' days, and three days with a delayed start or early release during the 2025 school year.
