| School Calendar: What You Need to Know
As of the February 21 Board meeting, the Board received over 100 comments from staff, parents and patrons regarding the calendar, all but two asking the Board to approve a post-Labor Day start to school. The Board took action on the calendar so that the committee could move forward with planning. The decision was also made with consideration of families and staff who are currently planning their summer.
Comments have been solicited since January 24, 2012 in the BCSD Weekly Update, on the website and through the weekly Coffees with the Community. "We'd particularly like to thank the staff who reached out to us, keep sending us your input because we need to hear from you," said Board Chair Steve Guthrie at the meeting.
