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

this one has a week, then the next monday is workday, then 3 days of school, and then another workday. ludicrous.

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.

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

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

Melanie Meren is always confused. 🙄

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

YASSSSSS!

What holidays are axed in this calendar?

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

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.

May 3rd is a teacher workday.

It’s also an AP test day.

This was not considered.

Spring Break will be 11 days long.

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

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

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.
