Decision On BC School Year Start To Be Made Soon

The start date for the 2017-2018 Boone Central school year will soon be certain as the date will be brought to a vote next week.

According to Superintendent Nichole Hardwick, the previous two dates that they were discussing, August 30 or September 5, were discussed at the meeting Wednesday between school administrators and Sampson Construction officials. Hardwick said that a date was not decided on, and an alternate calendar is to be proposed at the next meeting on Tuesday.

The complications with the start date to the 2017-2018 school year are related to the current construction going on at Boone Central Schools. Multiple projects are underway, including construction on the east and south sides of the high school building and the remodeling of the interior of the elementary building.
