RCS BOARD APPROVES CALENDAR WITH ECLIPSE DAY IN QUESTION

(Richmond, IN)--The Richmond Community School Board on Wednesday night approved the calendar for the next school year, with one day still somewhat up in the air due to a once-in-a-lifetime event.  Here’s Dawn Sonsini:  "I've received a few different emails about eye safety regarding the total solar eclipse and how some schools are closing on April 8."  She’s talking about April 8 of next year.  The approval of the calendar last night means that school will start on August 7.  Wednesday night’s passage does not set the start time for school each morning.
