Senate supports reading holiday

by Maria Nosal, SGA reporter

Tuesday, the student senate passed a bill of resolution to inform the administration that the student body supports the idea of having a reading day before final exams.

“Reading Day is a free day for students to prepare for final exams, which will allow students to remove some of the stress associated with finals week,” said senior senator Lucy Hutchinson. 

Reading days have been scheduled into the academic calendar in the past however, they were taken out a few years ago.  Currently, they are in the tentative schedule for the next school year. 

The bill was submitted by senators Hutchinson, junior Cory Winter and  sophomore Sara Lunsford. 

“It is something students have been talking about over the past year,” said Hutchinson. “Since the administration is already thinking about it and the student opinion is we would like to see them pass it, it would be very beneficial. We urge administration to pass it.”
