At its Nov. 15 meeting, the Board of Education approved calendars for the 2007-08 school year.
The traditional calendar contains 180 days of instruction for students, as well as 11 paid holidays, 10 paid vacation days, and 8 of 14 teacher workdays. The first day for students will be Monday, August 27, 2007. Winter break would be December 24 through January 1. Spring break is March 31 through April 4. The last day of school for students will be Tuesday, June 10, 2008.
The year-round calendar begins July 9 for Tracks 1-3 and July 30 for Track 4. Winter break would be December 24 through January 1. The last day of school would be June 3 for Track 1 and June 27 for Tracks 2-4. Currently, there are 15 year-round schools. The board has agreed to open five more elementary year-round schools in 2006-07.
The first day for modified calendar students will be Wednesday, July 25, 2007. Winter break would be December 19 through January 1. Spring break is March 10-28.
