If you attend or work at North Daviess Schools, your day may start 10 minutes later in the future.  The Washington Times Herald  says the change is gain more daylight for students and bus drivers. The elementary day would start at 8:30 and go to 3:06 while the Junior/Senior School day would be from 8:15 to 3:15.  The idea is still under consideration.

 

Other news from the meeting according to the newspaper, the board is being asked to consider offering pre-school next year.  Currently there is Head Start at North Daviess, operated by PACE, but most don’t qualify financially for that program open to kids 3 to 5.  School Superintendent Bob Bell said some parents in the North Daviess Community driver their kids 20 miles to pre-school.  No decisions have been made.  School administrators told board members that if a pre-school class or two are offered, additional rooms could be added to the elementary if needed.
