THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
Our most sincere THANK YOU to our school district community for their support!
The support of our staff, our parents and our community is unmatched.
The passing of our new facilities bond issue is a huge win for the students and families our district will serve for generations to come, the teachers and support staff who will be serving those students and families for generations to come and our community, as a whole.
We have so much for which to be thankful!
We are...

Snow Day Decision Information
Please be reminded that the quickest way to receive information regarding a delay or cancellation is to register for the Lexington Schools’ Alert system, for which there is a link on the Lexington main webpage or register for the WMFD Alert system by following the links on the WMFD website.
Our regular routine is day custodians and maintenance personnel begin work at 6:00am. Our bus drivers begin arriving around 6:00am also. The first buses leave the Transportation Department at 6:15am.
When we have inclement weather overnight, in the early morning or being forecast for early morning, Robin Boggs, our Transportation Supervisor; Jeremy Secrist, Asst. Superintendent and I will drive various areas within our district to assess the road conditions. Often the roads which cause us the most concerns are the back/side roads and areas that historically are not plowed/treated early in the morning.
Our first decision regarding cancellation or delay needs to be made by 6:00am, at the latest. Robin, Jeremy and I will be in communication regarding the road conditions from 5:15am until the decision is made. We want to make the decision to delay or cancel as early as is possible (between 5:30-5:45 is our goal).
If we decide on a two hour delay, we will need to determine if we will continue on the delay or cancel by 8:00am, at the latest. Robin, Jeremy and I will be driving our areas of the district again, prior to discussing the conditions at 7:15am until we decide what we need to do (between 7:30-7:45 is our goal).
When we make a decision to delay or cancel, we will send a text alert, notify the area media and post the decision on our website and Facebook page.
Our decisions are made based on the road conditions in our district. The safety of everyone coming to our buildings (students riding our buses, students/staff driving to school and parents bringing children to school) is our only priority.

'Historic': Lexington Schools Sell All $56M in Bonds in One Day
Being able to sell the bonds to generate our local share (47%) of our new facilities project on June 26, 2019 in less than 90 minutes AND reduce our interest rate from 5.25% to 3.01% AND reduce the length of our district’s “mortgage” from 37 years to 30 years AND reduce the average millage rate over those 30 years from 8.6 to 5.53 AND in doing all that save the residents of our school district nearly $28 million dollars in interest over the 30 years was quite a day!
WE have so much for which to be thankful! We are blessed with great kids, great families, a great staff and a great/tremendously supportive community! I cannot imagine a school district/community more deserving of the way this bond sale went than ours! - MZ
Reminder of the Laws on Stopping for School Buses
Best advice is if you approach, from either direction, a school bus stopped on or along the road, for any reason, with or without its lights flashing STOP.
We must all do our part of keep our precious children safe on their way to and from school each day. No one should be in such a hurry to jeopardize children's safety.
