Earlier School Dismissal Times Coming Next Academic Year for Salem Schools: What Local Parents Need to Know
The Salem School Board has approved earlier dismissal times for the next academic year. Superintendent Jill Mires, Transportation Director Ed Jordan, and school principals have developed a plan. The aim is to ensure school buses return to the bus compound by 4:30 p.m., an hour earlier than the current schedule. This change is mainly due to safety concerns during the darker winter months.
