Parents in Lexington say they're relieved the public schools in town are calling it a half-day on Monday.
LEXINGTON, MA — Parents in Lexington say they’re relieved the public schools in town are calling it a half-day on Monday.
“It’s hot and it’s early for it,” parent Laurie Lane told WBZ-TV. “It makes sense because of the heat. I can understand there’s no air conditioning in the schools, so it’s a good idea for safety reasons.”
Middle school students in the Lexington Public Schools district will be let out at 11:30 a.m., high school students will be dismissed at noon, and elementary school students get out at 12:30 p.m.
