Students attending Benicia High School are currently allowed to leave campus during lunch but that policy is being reviewed by high school administrators who are concerned with student safety and disruptions to the learning environment caused by students returning late from lunch forays.
“We’ve been in school nine weeks and there have been 838 tardies for fifth period as of October 18,” said Benicia High School Principal Damon Wright on Monday.
Wright, the new principal at the high school, says the possible policy change isn’t something he initiated but rather one he inherited.
