The calendar(s) is out

Following last night's school board meeting at least we have one issue out of the way...sort of. A 2009-2010 calendar - two actually - have been agreed upon: one for an early start to next year and one for a late start. Which one will be used by the district will depend upon the legislature, which must decide if it will allow districts to start school before Labor Day.

If they allow it, NBAPS will go with the early start calendar. The rationale for that decision lies in the ability to learn in late August as opposed to mid-June.

Since last night's approval the high school has announced graduation day for each calendar. If we are allowed to go with the early start, graduation will be June 2. If not it will be June 9.

I'll update you on the calendar situation when the legislature gives us guidance.
