Rutland High, for example, will unveil Year-End Studies enrichment classes May 21. Rutland Middle, for its part, will offer its 385 students field trips, special events and time outside during lunch. Getting a little exercise is helpful. Rutland Police Officer Chuck Hall, who works at the high school, reports another change with the weather. Attitude, Hall says.
Students are a lot happier and a lot more energetic.
More torn, too. Take Jonathan Reynolds. By night, he s the student representative to the city School Board who dons dress slacks, a long-sleeve shirt and tie for meetings. In class, people are starting to look out the window rather than in the room, the student says. Which I regret saying, the board member in him adds.
