Six Richland One Schools To Dismiss Early August 21, Thanks to Beyoncé and Jay-Z

What's so special about August 21? Beyoncé and Jay-Z will be performing at Williams-Brice Stadium.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) — Students at six Richland One schools will be dismissed early on August 21.

What's so special about that day? It's the day of the Beyoncé and Jay-Z 'On the Run II' concert at Williams-Brice Stadium.

Richland One says six schools in the area will dismiss early that day because of the heavy traffic expected for the show.

"We're hoping dismissing early will reduce the likelihood that the buses will get caught in traffic," says Karen York with Richland One.

Early dismissals are scheduled as follows:

11 a.m. Dreher High School, Olympia Learning Center

NOON AC Moore, Rosewood and South Kilbourne Elementary Schools

1 p.m. Hand Middle School

In addition, after-school child care and athletics programs at those schools will begin on August 22 instead of August 21.

All other Richland One schools will have normal dismissal times.
