The Lincoln County School District #2 Board meeting on November 13, 2024, highlighted the community's strong support for local youth programs and addressed ongoing facility maintenance challenges as winter approaches.
During the meeting, board members acknowledged generous donations from local businesses and individuals to support various school activities.
