VII.B. Draft of 2024-2025 School Calendar
Description:
Tuesday evening, we would like to discuss the 2024-2025 school calendar. There are currently five options that have been presented to the D91 Teacher’s Association for feedback. We will not have final feedback for the meeting on Tuesday evening, but I can provide initial comments. This school calendar is very similar to the current school calendar and both winter and spring break holidays align with the high school draft calendar being presented for consideration with their BOE. After the January discussion, we will plan to have the calendar hearing and have the Board officially approve the calendar in February if a final draft is selected before then. If not, we will hold the calendar hearing in March. Once the calendar is approved, we will release it to our D91 families. |
