A Corbin Schools bus driver, on the hot seat after leaving a child on his bus alone for about 45 minutes in late April, has been formally reprimanded and was suspended for five days following a final decision on the matter by school district Superintendent Ed McNeel last week.
Following heavy rains and flash flooding over the weekend and early this week, Corbin Mayor Willard McBurney officially declared the city in a "state of emergency" Wednesday afternoon and is asking for help from state officials regarding clean up efforts.
Heavy rain turned into a late-night shock for at least one Corbin family who are busy cleaning up from the damage high water caused to their Fifth Street home early Monday morning.
Officially vacant since early March, interest among would-be candidates for the position of Corbin police chief is high as city officials report that 22 people submitted applications to fill the slot before Monday's deadline.
