School Calendar - Updated Information
The Board of Trustees is charged with deciding the school year calendar. Last year the Board of Trustees approved a one-year school calendar, starting school after Labor Day. The Board of Trustees has many factors and stakeholders to consider when looking at a school calendar. Parents and community members will have an opportunity to voice their opinion through public comment at the Board of Trustees meeting February 21 and through emails or letters to the Board. No decision on the school calendar will be made at the February 21 meeting. Stay tuned to the BCSD Weekly Updates and the website for more information.
