7.4. 18-19 Master Calendar Update
More Information:
Due to Easter being so late, the 2018-19 activity calendar has had a lot of changes. The event causing the most issues is District Music. Due to the Easter date this year, we will not be in school on the "usual" Friday so it was moved a week earlier. Moving it a week earlier has not put District Music against other spring sports.
I am proposing this one year change due to calendar issues:
As I said, this should be a one year fix as next year's activity calendar will be similar to past ones.
Action(s):
No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.
