SCHOOL CALENDAR

PURPOSE: To establish procedures for the adoption of school calendars.

The Board recognizes that the preparation of a calendar for the instructional program of the schools is necessary for orderly educational planning and for the efficient operation of the District.

The Superintendent, after consultation with the District’s Calendar Committee and employee organizations, shall recommend, and the Board shall adopt school calendars for all TK-12 schools of the District and the Adult School that meet the requirements of the law as well as the needs of the community, students, and employees of the District.

School calendars shall show the beginning and ending dates of school, legal and local holidays, orientation meeting days, number of teaching days, vacation periods, and other pertinent dates.

The Superintendent or designee may temporarily alter the regular school calendar when he/she deems such alteration advisable and feasible and in the best interest of children of the District. The Superintendent or designee may close the schools, delay the opening of the schools, or dismiss school early for emergency reasons and to protect the health and safety of students and staff members. The Superintendent or designee shall prepare procedures and protocols for the proper and timely notification of concerned persons in the event of such emergency closings and shall, in all cases, inform all members of the Board as soon as possible.
