Columbia-area school sending SC students home early due to power outage
A Columbia-area school is sending students home Thursday after a power outage, according to a statement from the Lexington-Richland 5 School District.
Irmo Middle School students will be sent home early, with buses beginning to run at 10:30 a.m., according to the statement.
School officials are trying to contact families to make sure there are plans for their children to be supervised once they get home. If a student cannot be picked up early, they will be taken to Crossroads Intermediate School until power can be restored, according to the statement.
Students should still check for virtual assignments on Google Classroom, district officials said.
District officials anticipate school should be able to return to normal Friday.
