A balanced school calendar evenly distributes the days that students attend school and the days they are on vacation across the 12-month calendar year.
All students attend school at the same time and go on vacation at the same time.
The following is a comparison of our current school calendar with the two most common versions of a balanced school calendar. The Board of Education believes that a balanced calendar may offer significant benefits for the education of students. We would like parents, the community, and employees to consider the merits of a balanced calendar and to offer their opinions. The Board of Education is interested in receiving feedback from all constituents. Informational meetings are being held at each school for parents, the community, and employees and will continue until mid-December, 2000.
