School Year Calendar for 2020-21
Rationale:
In February, a "possible draft" of the 2020-21 calendar was provided to the board. Since that time, input has been gathered from the staff, administrators, and board members to make adjustments to produce this draft for approval.
The school year calendar proposed meets all necessary and legal requirements related to instructional units, instructional hours, etc., through NDE for accreditation and legal operation purposes. It should be noted, the calendar can change as needed. It is our intent to not change unless it is necessary and pertinent to accomplish school business or meet regulations.
