0:48Now PlayingREXBURG — Madison High School students will get to sleep in for a bit Monday, as first hour has been pushed back to 10 a.m.
The reason for this change comes from a suggestion made by the Rexburg Police Department to better deal with traffic congestion as Brigham Young University-Idaho students come back to town. Fall semester is set to begin Sept. 17.
“It’s almost impossible to get cars in from the off-ramp,” Rexburg Police Capt. Randy Lewis says.
On Friday, Madison High School Students began class at 10 a.m. and on Monday they’ll do the same. Students are scheduled to head home at regular time.
Madison High School Principal Mike Bennett says this is the second year the school has pushed the time back preceding fall semester at BYU-Idaho.
