7.1. Discuss/Act on 2020-21 Calendar Change: Change November 2nd From a Late Start to a Full Day Teacher In-Service
More Information:
We are wanting to move our late start on November 2nd to a full day in-service. The bottom line is that our staff just needs time. We will have our 90 minutes of meetings and the rest of the day will be work and planning time. We will also use the day for testing and individual work for our on-line learners if needed.
I have it on the agenda because I feel the Board needs to act on this. In my mind I think it is COVID related. If I have to request a waiver for instruction hours in the spring I have Board minutes approving the calendar change.
