HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - A new school is one step closer to reality in Perry County.

The school district posted on social media that they now have the property for a new Robinson Elementary School off Highway 80 near the Elk Run subdivision.

Perry County Superintendent Kent Campbell and Robinson Elementary Principal Jamie Fugate are pictured in the post holding the paperwork.

Robinson Elementary was destroyed in the July, 2022 flood.

Since then, students have been using the old A.B. Combs Elementary building.

It’s not known when construction will begin on the new school.
