RCS PARENTS PREFER LATER START TIME

(Richmond, IN)--Hundreds of parents and staff members have completed a survey about new start times for Richmond Community Schools for the next school year.  There are now two options on the table.  A slight majority prefer a later start time.  Regardless of which option is chosen, one thing is certain:  students will spend less time in the classroom.  Under both scenarios, intermediate and high school students will have about three hours less classroom time per week.  The RCS Board is likely to vote on the issue during its meeting next week.
