Polk students back in school

While most Eastern Iowa schools still have another month of summer vacation, Polk Elementary School students go back to school tomorrow.

Polk is the Corridor’s only year-round school — a distinction that Polk once shared with Taylor. Last summer’s flood altered the schools’ modified calendars. Taylor was closed last year; Polk operated on a traditional school calendar last year.

The district will determine Taylor’s year-round future last this year. To read more about the benefits of the alternative schedule, check out Wednesday’s Gazette.
