One of the most affordable and popular options in Roanoke City, RCPS+, is off the table this summer after its funding was not renewed. That leaves hundreds of families to figure out new summer plans.

The RCPS+ summer program is being replaced by the STAR program, focusing on students with academic needs, leaving some parents concerned about summer options for their children.

RCPS+ is a free, summer program for Roanoke city students.

RCPS+ is designed to help students with unfinished learning and offer mediation and credit recovery opportunities.

Roanoke City Public Schools are offering additional learning opportunities for students this summer with their RCPS+ program.
