Macon County Families:
During today’s parade, an uncontrollable driver came through the parade route. Macon County Sheriff’s Department, Lafayette PD, and other city agencies responded to this situation. A Macon County Sheriff’s Deputy rammed the driver preventing injuries to any students. The parade was stopped, buses began routes, and students were dismissed at 2:30pm. Macon County Schools is so appreciative of all responders and the quick reaction by the faculty and staff of LES and Central Elementary that prevented this from becoming so much worse. Several of our students are upset due to witnessing this situation. Each school will be prepared to address counseling concerns, etc.. at the beginning of next week.
Daniel Cook
Interim Director
Macon County Schools
All Lafayette busses will start running at 2:30 today.
