Early release Wednesdays start today

SANDPOINT — As a reminder to those with high school students in the Lake Pend Oreille School District, early release Wednesdays begins today.

LPOSD trustees approved the request in December to allow Sandpoint, Lake Pend Oreille and Clark Fork high school students to be released early each Wednesday as the new semester begins.

This will allow an extra hour each week for staff to develop a "professional learning community" — a collaboration of staff in an effort to better serve the students they teach.
