Superintendent explains calendar shift and two‑day PLC training funded by Project AWARE
Summary
Doctor Wood said teachers return this week, students start Friday, Aug. 14, and the district will host a two‑day Solution Tree PLC institute using remaining Project AWARE grant funds; parent‑teacher conference days were removed to accommodate the training.
Superintendent Doctor Wood told the board the 2627 school year calendar was adjusted to host a two‑day Solution Tree PLC Foundations institute for all teaching staff. She said the district used remaining Project AWARE grant funds to bring the institute on site rather than sending a subset of staff out of district; as a result, the district changed the student start date to Friday, Aug. 14 and removed scheduled parent‑teacher conference days later in the fall.
Doctor Wood described PLCs as an ongoing, collaborative process focused on four essential questions about student learning and said the district will also add eight monthly early‑release days so teachers can work together in PLC teams. "So today officially marked the beginning of the 2627 school year, for our La Porte Community School Corporation as we welcomed our teachers back to work," she said, and added that "students will join us this year on Friday, August 14."
