THE ISSUE: School has started in Citrus County.
OUR OPINION: Brings promise and opportunity.
If you are wondering whether you were seeing mirages of large yellow school buses suddenly popping up on your streets this past week, your vision is fine.
Citrus County schools started Wednesday — a full 13 days earlier than most other school districts in the state. This is because the Citrus County School District is designated as “academically high performing.”
Academically high-performing districts must be A-rated with no F schools, in compliance with class-size laws and have passed the financial audits. Only 18 other districts in the state have that distinction.
The advantage to starting early is teachers can finish the first semester and give their exams before winter break.
