Platte County R-3 School District officials say the current system for dismissing students could be safer and less expensive. Rob Gardner, assistant superintendent, presented a plan to the school board that would change the bell times for all students. Currently, students who attend schools at the district’s north campus in Platte City arrive at 7:40 a.m. and leave at 2:40. Students who attend the south campus at Barry arrive and depart an hour later. The bell times are based on student geography rather than by grade level. The new bell system would have high school, middle school and Barry School students starting school at 7:30 a.m. with all elementary schools starting an hour later.


No construction projects in the Platte County R-3 School District are planned for 2010 but that will change in 2011. The school board will hold a special meeting to interview potential architects and project managers for the district’s future construction needs. Without a plan in hand, Superintendent Dr. Mike Reik told The Landmark that he anticipates the need for a new elementary school in Platte City and an additional eight classrooms at Pathfinder School as top priorities.
