As a tribute to his life, the columnist's family - Laurada Byers, his widow; his daughter, Alison Byers; and his son Russell Byers, Jr. - founded this charter school that honors his lifelong commitment to civic responsibility, community service, and academic excellence. Located in a spacious building in the heart of Center City, RBCS is the only school in Pennsylvania offering the innovative Expeditionary Learning Schools model - a project-oriented approach to learning and teaching based on the guiding principles of the Outward Bound program.
