[quote=Anonymous]The difference between the calendar the school board approves and what the state requires is 82 hours. These 82 hours have been used in 2 hour increments, 3 hour increments, or full day increments this year. There seems to be NO oversight in how the superintendent uses these hours. In an ideal year, 0 of those 82 hours would be used. Instead the superintendent has been budgeting like she has to spend them all. With these hours the published calendar can change by 13 days. This year the hours have been stretched out over 20+days of partial disruptions. For elementary students 36 of these hours had nothing to do with hazardous weather conditions. The biggest step in reforming the calendar that I see is establishing operational procedures around using these hours. [/quote]
