CORBIN, Ky. (AP) - Two school districts in southern Kentucky won't return to classes until Monday, when officials hope students are healthier.

The Times-Tribune (http://bit.ly/12g8nvj) reports district officials for Corbin Independent Schools and for Whitley County Schools decided to close their doors for a few days this week due to a high number of illnesses.

Whitley County Schools closed on Wednesday and Corbin Independent Schools closed on Thursday. Students in both districts will return next week.
