Narrative:

Incident occurred during flight instruction for touch and go lndgs at above referenced airport. As CFI, I was demonstrating slip to landing. Touchdown proceeded normally, however, on the go aircraft ran off runway to the right and damaged runway light. Managed to regain control of aircraft ground path and liftoff. However, at this time was completely unaware that runway had been damaged. Performed 1 or 2 more touch and goes before hearing on unicom that runway was closed temporarily due to broken glass. Landed at base airport and contacted carrol county airport to report as soon as practical. Believe incident was the result of fatigue and have taken proper action to relieve this and will monitor situation on an on-going basis.
