VII.3. 2012-2013 District Calendar
Presenter:
Luke Francois
Description:
The District Calendar was approved for the 2012-2013 school year and includes 181 student contact days and 191 teacher work days. A traditional school calendar uses the DPI required minimum of 180 student contact days translating to 190 teacher work days.
A remedy to fix the calendar would find 6/5/13 being the end of quarter/trimester. All teachers would then be required to attend in-service Tuesday, 8/28/12 and a work day on 6/6/13 thereby eliminating a teacher work day 6/7/13. This would bring the school calendar to 180 days and the teacher work days to 190 days.
