Rockdale pool in ‘school mode’
With the start of 2019-20 classes in the Rockdale ISD, the city pool will now be open only on weekends through Labor Day.
According to the city, those who purchased a pool pass and still have punches available should save that pass for the 2020-21 season as punches may be carried over from one season to the next.
