BENICIA — The Benicia school board continued its discussion Thursday about possibly keeping students on the high school campus during lunchtime.The current policy allows everyone but freshmen to leave Benicia High School during lunch, making it an “open campus.” However, this engenders a variety of concerns, Benicia High Principal Damon Wright told the board.

“As of (Thursday), we recorded 838 tardies for fifth period alone. We’ve only been at school for nine weeks,” Wright said.
