Mr. Shaw asked for input from the board members regarding BRCP remaining in session on Nov. 19th, which is the Red for Ed Day. He stated that we do not have any instructors who plan to attend that, but that Shelbyville Schools will be closed due to a shortage of teachers that day. Normally we follow the SCS schedule but this is an unscheduled event. He asked the preferences of the board. It was determined that BRCP should stay open on Nov. 19th. SCS will be in session on January 20 as a makeup day but BRCP will not be open on January 20. All students are expected to attend BRCP classes even if their school is not in session.
