Almost half of the students at Rappahannock’s elementary school are reading a year or more behind grade level, according to a recent survey taken by the administration.
As a first step toward attacking the reading deficiency that has alarmed parents and teachers alike, county School Board members voted unanimously at a special meeting held last Wednesday to offer summer school this year.
The summer school program will focus on reading and language skills only. Classes, beginning June 19, will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.. According to current plans, enrollment will be open to children in grades one through seven. However, participation may have to be limited to specific grades, should more than a third of the students eligible for the program indicate an interest in attending summer school.
