Considered Change to the Academic Calendar in SY 2020-21 & Beyond
6
? Eliminating the February professional development (PD) day and having five (5) PD days prior to schools starting.
? Rationale:
? Schools would not have to stipend staff to return early for professional development for August PD week;
? The academic year ends one-day earlier; and ? The last day of school in SY2020-21 would be a Friday
instead of a Monday.
Stakeholder Feedback
7
? The following feedback was expressed by stakeholders:
? Satisfaction with schools opening when summer activities end;
? In favor of schools ending earlier in June; ? Groups requested a break in either February or
March dependent on when spring break occurs ; ? Requests to explore year-around schooling; ? Extracurricular activities for early release days; and ? Align parent-teacher conference windows with
progress report distribution.
