QUINCY, MI (WTVB) – The idea of releasing of Quincy students early has been put on hold for at least a year.
Two meetings were held last month at Jennings Elementary to get feedback from parents on the possibility of early releases starting with the 2016-17 school year.
The once-a-week early release of students is designed to assist teachers with meetings and professional development.
Quincy Superintendent Craig Artist said last month that the purpose of dismissing students early was to give teachers more time to become effective but he added Quincy schools would have to be in line with neighboring districts.
Quincy High School Principal Dave Spaulding says they want to sort out some issues that have been brought forward by community members.
Coldwater dismissed students early on Wednesdays in 2014-2015 but switched to a Friday early dismissal for this school year.
