Students, teachers ready for first day of class
Pike County’s nearly 3,500 students return to school next week under a cloud of teacher furloughs and governor-mandated funding cuts.
“It’s a terrible way to start the school year, but I don’t believe the governor had any choice,” said superintendent Dr. Michael Duncan.
Duncan is confident Pike’s teaching staff will do their best under these trying circumstances.
“We just ask the parents be patient with them and with the district because the start of school won’t be as smooth,” Duncan warned.
The first day of school in Pike County is Monday, Aug. 3. Pupils and parents can get a sneak peek during an open house at all schools Thursday, July 30, from 4-7 p.m.
