Schools in several of Kentucky's largest counties were forced to close Friday when teachers angered by the abrupt passage of a pension overhaul refused to go to work. The state's two largest districts in Louisville and Lexington were among at least eight school districts that closed schools due to widespread employee absences. "A lot of sick days are going to be used today," said Patricia Lea Collins, the Head Start and preschool director for the Pike County school system, where schools were closed Friday.
