Kent School District announces late-start days for 2013-14 school year

The Kent School District observes a districtwide late-start schedule for all elementary, middle and high schools one day a month except for December.

The nine dates:

• Sept. 25
• Oct. 30
• Nov. 20
• Jan. 15
• Feb. 5
• March 5
• April 2
• May 7
• June 4

Students who ride a bus to school should expect their bus to arrive two hours later than the usual time. Breakfast is not served on late-start days. School ends at the regular time.

The Kent School Board decided in June not to expand the number of late-arrival days for students this school year. The board had considered adding more shortened days to the school calendar to give teachers additional time for professional development.
