This is an update. Following further evaluation of road conditions and widespread power outages this morning, multiple bus routes are impassable. To ensure the safety of students and staff, Lawrence County Schools will be CLOSED today, Monday, August 17. Stay safe today, LC!
Due to yesterday evening's storm, which left debris on roads and caused power outages, Lawrence County KY Schools will operate on a 1-hour delay today, Monday, August 17. Because our buses start early in the morning, this delay allows daylight for drivers and emergency teams to safely evaluate road conditions. Please travel safely. Any further updates will be shared through our normal channels. #LCisHome

LC Schools Middle School Music Education Selected for the Steele-Reese Grant!
The Lawrence County Schools middle school band program is delighted to share that it has been awarded
the Smith-Steele Reese grant, amounting to $48,000. This generous funding will enable the middle school band programs at Blaine, Fallsburg, and Louisa Middle to acquire 18 instruments for each school. The most essential instruments needed include clarinets, flutes, and trumpets.
Our LC Band Instructor, Mr. Scott Smith, shared, “I am so pleased that the foundation chose to honor our request. This award provides more equitable accessibility for our students to participate in instrumental music. Instrumental music is a strong part of a school culture, provides opportunities to excel academically, and reinforces social and emotional stability. I am grateful for this opportunity to make this investment in our kids. It's a win for Lawrence County Schools and a win for music education.”
