schools in the Madison County
system shifted to 'Sun Time"
on Monday.
Mr. Edwards said that
county school officials decided
to alter the "clock" starting
time for the schools so as to
remain on the same "Sun
Time" as at present.
Under Daylight Savings
time clocks were advanced an
hour on January 6, putting the
nation on year-round Daylight
Savings Time. "The county
schools will get around the
early opening hours by
delaying the opening of
schools one hour by the clock
under Daylight Savings Time.
This, in affect, will have the
schools open during the same
daylight hours as currently,"
Mr Edwards explained.
"The shift to D.S.T. will be
reviewed again by school
officials at a later date," Mr.
Edwards stated.
