No More Early Release Days?

It's not just an ugly school rumor. Pinellas County schools will end the practice.

You can almost hear the collective groan in your kids' classrooms: There will be no more early release days at Pinellas County public schools.

Starting next school year, the early dismissals on Wednesdays will go away.

Pinellas County Schools posted the announcement on its website, along with a listing of bell schedules for campuses across the district.
