• Lexington 4 breaks ground on Frances Mack Intermediate School renovations (lexingtonchronicle.com) — Renovations are officially underway at Frances Mack Intermediate School in Lexington County School District Four, promising more classrooms, better safety, and age-appropriate spaces for fifth- and sixth-graders. District leaders say the project, backed by a state facilities study and grant exploration, will replace outdated K–2-style rooms and expand capacity so more local students can learn in modern, well-equipped spaces.
