2009-2010 School Calendar Change (Updated 6/8/09)

The District asked STA to consider changing the school calendar for the upcoming year.  While no one likes to make changes once an agreement is reached, this change actually allows us one more day of summer vacation.

Instead of returning to work on Wednesday, September 2 for two Superintendent’s Conference Days, staff will now report on Thursday, September 3 for one day.  Students will still return on Tuesday, September 8.

There will be two professional development days in October instead of one.  Monday, October 19 will be added to the already scheduled Tuesday, October 20th date.  The additional day will allow for the schools in the Corcoran quadrant to participate in their quadrant IB initiative.  All other schools will have school-determined professional development on October 19 and district-determined professional development on October 20.

This change does reduce the number of days available for inclement weather, however. The calendar allows for the use, without loss of state aid, of five school closing days for inclement weather instead of six.
