RCS BOARD DISCUSSES EXTRACURRICULARS FOR NON-STUDENTS

(Richmond, IN)--The Richmond Community School Board had a lengthy policy discussion Tuesday on whether or not kids being homeschooled or otherwise not enrolled at RCS should be allowed to participate in extracurricular activities like sports and band in the RCS system.  Here’s Nicole Stults:  "I see it both ways.  But, it's kind of hard to say 'sure, use all of our facilities and we're going to pay for all of that and provide all of that and yet not have any of those tax dollars coming."  The Board indicated Tuesday it would seek feedback from coaches, while Superintendent Dr. Curtis Wright said that he would address the topic with the public in the first of two community meetings set for Thursday night.
