RCS BOARD TO AGAIN ADDRESS LATER DAILY START TIME

(Richmond, IN)--The Richmond Community School Board meets late Wednesday afternoon, and it will again address an agenda item that would mean a significant change when the next school year begins in August.  RCS administrators have identified what they call barriers to teachers that include supervision needs before and after school.  The revised schedule reduces the instructional minutes to respond to those barriers.  It also eliminates the Tuesday early dismissal schedule.  Under the proposal, elementary students would start at 8:05 each morning.  But, Test and RHS students wouldn’t start their day until 8:50 each morning.  Dennis wouldn’t start until 9:05.  Wednesday afternoon’s meeting begins at 5:30.
