COVID-19 Responsible For The Loss Of A 15 Year Old Student In Lexington

Fayette County Public Schools has lost its first student to COVID-19. Schools Superintendent Demetrus Liggins confirmed the death Thursday of 15-year-old Christopher “CJ” Gordon Junior, who attended The Learning Center. Liggins said Gordon was, quote, “a kind, thoughtful young man with a bright future ahead of him, and we join his family in mourning his tragic death.” A team of grief counselors from across the school district went to The Learning Center to support students and staff as they absorbed the news.
