Students return to classes on Tuesday September 7, 1999 for the beginning of the last school year of the 20th century! Teachers report on Thursday September 2nd, with new staff coming in on Tuesday August 31 for induction programming.

1999-2000 sees RCS adding Distance Learning, a new full-time math position, a new secondary remediation position, a part-time school social worker, and replacing some staff who have left over the summer. In all, four new teachers will be among the staff, and we will be replacing the teaching assistant in the elementary computer lab.

A new computer network will allow us to upgrade all machines, install two additional labs for student use, and switch to Windows 95 and Office 97. As soon as Albany approves our plans, we will bid work for the capital project approved by voters last November. Work will include extensive renovations to the auditorium and gymnasium areas, and the addition of a community use and special education room adjacent to the gym.

We look forward to another excellent school year at Romulus!
