School Calendar 2023-2024

Anonymous
What Cohen said at the start was that the feedback was overwhelmingly positive towards a 2 week winter break, so that pretty much eliminates any chance of either an late start or early end.

It'll start on the 21st.

The Blue Calendar version 2 seems to be the one that will pass.

Hey, they moved 3rd Q end to right before Spring Break. That's good news.

Spring Break will be 11 days long.

Interesting.

May 3rd is a teacher workday.

It’s also an AP test day.

This was not considered.

They keep talking about the feedback of the choppiness of the calendar.

McLaughlin seems to be most negative. She brings up a good point that Super Tuesday (March 5th) might need to be a PW.

They will have to add in a day off for Super Tuesday in March.

Melanie Meren is always confused. 🙄

Lord help us all of these buffoons pass this calendar for more than 1 year.

Wow, they aren't wrong. People hated taking away the 2 week Winter Break.

Meren is not happy that she was kept in the dark that a new calendar was being developed today.

oh yikes 24/25 has a workday a week and a half before spring break.

I cannot imagine that they will approve the 3 years and then they will amend them in the future. bc the board is awful.

Any chance they pass something tonight? I bet they pause to get more information. This group can’t make a decision
