The LaRue County School District surpassed its district goal for the 2013-14 school year on the state’s Unbridled Learning accountability assessment, ranking 13th out of 173 school districts in Kentucky.

“Students, staff and the LaRue County community can be proud knowing we are one of the highest achieving districts in the state,” said Sam Sanders, superintendent. “As always, we will analyze the data and formulate a plan to keep moving us forward.”

About seven acres of a cornfield was scorched Sunday afternoon, the latest in a series of field fires that have kept firefighters busy.

The field, owned by Jan and Jane Wright and located on Carter Brothers Road, had been harvested. The fire appeared to have started near the center of the field.

LaRue County Fire Chief Jason Sadler said the volunteer firefighters reached the area quickly, however, the wind caused numerous problems.

“When it changed direction, it came at us in a fury,” he said.
