Board reviews calendar options, selects Option 1 for April action and highlights flex days
Summary
Administrators presented three calendar options developed with a calendar committee and public feedback; Option 1 won by more than 120 votes and staff proposed placing the calendar as an action item at the April meeting, noting principals will have autonomy over flex days.
Administrators briefed the board on the district school calendar and the process used by a calendar committee to develop three options after gathering staff and public feedback. The presenter said Option 1 won significantly by over 120 votes and recommended the board place the calendar as an action item on the April meeting agenda.
Staff explained flex days incorporated into the calendar are intended to give principals autonomy to schedule those days in ways they believe will benefit teachers and students. The meeting included thanks from administrators to staff who supported the calendar process and a reminder about an upcoming VSBA spring networking forum at the Franklin County CTE Center, with several board members indicated as planning to attend.
No formal vote on the calendar was taken at this meeting; staff asked that the board consider the calendar as an action item at the next regular meeting.
