An area school district has called off its Open House event, and it has nothing to do with COVID-19.

Administrators in the Lexington R-5 School District say, “In order to allow for finishing touches on district-wide construction, Open House will not be held as scheduled tonight (Thursday, August 19). Buildings will communicate supply drop-off plans via the e-mail provided on enrollment forms. We look forward to seeing all of our students on Monday, August 23rd!”
