Board changes district calendar — May 28–29 set as non-student days
Summary
Because of accumulated snow days, the superintendent recommended and the board approved changing May 28 and 29 to non-student days, allowing staff to use the days for packing and moving related to facility changes; the motion passed 7-0.
The Kenyon-Wanamingo School Board approved a revision to the 2024–25 district calendar, changing May 28 and 29 to non-student days so staff can use those days for packing and moving related to building transitions.
Superintendent Giese explained the change: "Kids in Minnesota required to have 165 days or a certain amount of minutes that they need to have. We had our snow days... We are recommending that 28th and 29th of May, turn into packing, moving." He told the board that the change will save district funds by avoiding extra paid time for teachers on move days and allow paraprofessionals, students participating in projects, and volunteers to help with room prep.
Chair (speaker 4) moved to approve the calendar revision; Marilyn Severson seconded and the motion passed 7-0. The board noted families may prefer an earlier end but said statutory requirements and accumulated snow days made the change necessary.
