Winter Weather Closing Policy

It’s that time of year again when snow, ice, and freezing rain can wreak havoc with the school schedule. Announcements regarding school cancellations and delayed starts will be made on WAVE and WHAS radio and television. As a general policy, the school will follow the same decision regarding closings as Jefferson County Public Schools.

When JCPS is delayed, we will open at 8:15 a.m. When JCPS is closed, KIP is closed.

A decision regarding school closings is usually made the night before, but sometimes as late as 5:00 a.m. If you are unsure, call the KI phone line, where we will have a recording as soon as any decision is made. This website will be updated as often as possible, but an early morning decision may not be posted until 7:00 a.m. the next day.
