The public is invited to attend a rededication ceremony at Irmo Elementary School at 3 p.m.
A rededication ceremony for Irmo Elementary School will be held this Sunday, Lexington-Richland Five recently announced. Through funds from the 2008 bond referendum, the district completed several projects at Irmo Elementary including constructing new classroom wings, special needs classrooms and a new music room, improving the student drop-off/pick-up area as well as renovating the school's gym and office area. According to the district, Irmo Elementary was constructed in 1935 to serve all first through 11th-grade students in the area. The original building — which is still part of the campus — housed an auditorium, a gym, classrooms and an athletic field. Tours of the school will follow the ceremony, which starts at 3 p.m.

Irmo Elementary School charges tuition for its preschool program.
State legislators removed a provision in the state budget that prohibited public schools from charging tuition for 4-year-old kindergarten programs, according to a report from The State. On Monday, the budget conference committee voted to remove the provision that House members included in the budget. Irmo Elementary School is offering a new tuition-based program at a cost of $150 per student for 36 weeks. The state doesn't require schools to have a 4-year-old kindergarten program.
