Board remarks: Board members and staff reacted positively to the calendar, noting the district will finish before Memorial Day in that school year and thanking planners for the schedule. The calendar will proceed through the board process for final approval.
Ending: Administrators indicated the calendar would be shared with families and staff and posted on the district website and social media platforms.
