(Richmond, IN)--Richmond Community Schools on Monday provided an explanation about why RIFs were removed from the agenda of last week’s Board meeting. In a written response, RCS indicated that some members of the Board determined that they did not feel comfortable having such a brief period of time in advance of the meeting to fully consider the issue. Teachers who will have their jobs eliminated must be notified by July 1 according to state law. The Board meets in executive session Wednesday night and will set another public meeting before that deadline. 19 positions are set to be eliminated.
