Summer school for high school students got under way June 23 at Rock Hill High, with Asst. Principal Darryl Taylor as director. Preliminary enrollment figures are at 200 students, but the district is also offering additional opportunities for high school students this summer which include Virtual High School and Credit Recovery plus classes at the Phoenix Academy and Renaissance for a grand total of over 1,000 students.
Jessica Schonberg, education reporter at The Herald, will be leaving at the end of June to return to Chapel Hill. Her replacement will be Shawn Cetrone, an education reporter with the Charlotte Observer.
Approved the proposed 2008-09 general fund budget with a 5-1 vote (Douglas against). To make up the difference between expenditures and revenue, the board approved up to a three-mil increase on non-residential property and agreed that additional revenue could be taken from the 2007-08 fund balance or the capital expense fund.
