VI.D. Calendar 2022/23 **
Description:
After receiving staff input and comparing to county calendars, we are recommending we move forward with a 2022/23 calendar that aligns with the Lake County High Schools Technology Campus calendar for winter break and both the Regional Office of Education and Tech Campus calendars for spring break. Our calendar has been shared with our feeder districts and I know they will align as closely as is possible for them. Recommend approval of the 2022/23 calendar as presented.

VI.E. District E-Learning Plans **
Description:
Back in the fall of 2019 when the Board of Education approved our first E-Learning Plan, we had no idea how important that foundation would be to future e-learning planning. We built off of that initial E-Learning Plan to develop an Extended E-Learning Plan and then various iterations of a Blended Learning Plan when we were able to phase in in-person learning. We have incorporated much of what we learned about what worked well over the last two years into the proposed plans being presented for your consideration. Only the Emergency Day E-Learning Plan is required to be formally approved by the Board of Education, but both are equally important as in the event they are needed they would replace our traditional learning mode. Recommend approval of the District E-Learning Plans as presented.
