LCS Update (7:47 PM) - All Duval PK-8 students have been transported home safely. Thank you to all staff, community members, and families for a safe delivery home.
LCS Update ( 6:00 PM ) - LCS officials have determined it is now safe to transport Duval PK-8 students located at the board office. The estimated time for departure for the Duval PK-8 students will be approximately 6:45 p.m. We recommend Parents/Guardians be at the bus stop to receive your child. LCHS students living in the Duval attendance area will remain at the LCHS building until such time as the water recedes and school officials determine a safe level on Route 3 near the Hamlin Lions Club Field. Bus operators will remain on stand-by in the event that the water recedes and we can safely transport LCHS students who live in the Duval area and are still at LCHS. Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to make student safety our top priority.
