Friday, March 13, 2009
The Nevada R-5 Board of Education set the date for the start of the 2009 - 2010 school year for Aug. 20 at their regular monthly meeting -- one day after the originally proposed start date of Aug. 19. The board had tabled the decision at the February meeting after a group of parents spoke to the board about the fact the Missouri State Fair would still be ongoing the district's first day of school.
