students are due back Aug. 22, in what would be the district’s earliest start in recent memory. The proposed calendar represents a drastic departure from tradition.
Besides starting on Aug. 22, the proposed schedule has the last day as June 7. The proposed schedule will be up for Board of Education approval at Wednesday’s monthly meeting. That adds up to 176 student attendance days with four teacher institute days, four school improvement days, two report card pickup days and four teacher professional development days.
Parents and students had an opportunity to weigh in on two proposed calendars, one starting Aug. 22 and another Aug. 29. Officials didn’t immediately release those survey results.
