[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I counted correctly:

The current (2022-23) calendar has 5 professional days and 7 early releases.
Option A: 9 PDs, 4 ERs
Option B: 7 PDs, 4 ERs
Option C: 8 PDs, 6 ERs
Option D: 9 PDs, 5 ERs

It's clear that the additional PDs are what's driving the proposed earlier start dates and/or later end date.  [/quote]

Why there are so many more PD days? [/quote]

School staff wanted more, apparently. The information in the document presented at the board meeting said:

"Professional Days: All four scenarios continue the practice of scheduling a full non-instructional day for professional development and grading and planning time at the end of each quarter.
This end of the quarter planning time is embedded in our negotiated employee agreements,and school staff have expressed a strong preference for an increase in professional development
and planning time during the school year. This opportunity also is reflected in all scenarios with an additional professional development day in each semester. The school system also is exploring
if some professional development days may be counted as asynchronous instructional days."[/quote]
