Back to school

•   The 30 Rowan-Salisbury Schools will open their doors Tuesday, Aug. 7, to 20,566 students, school records show.

Enrollment rose from 20,365 from the beginning of the 2000-2001 school year.

• Schools and buses will operate on their regular schedules the first day. Breakfast and lunch will be served at all schools.

• This year, all but three schools in the system will have new starting and closing times. The changes will allow the system’s 198 buses to operate more efficiently by running at staggered times and serving children at multiple schools.
