The last day of school for students will be Friday, May 26th, 2023.
Delayed Start Working Wednesdays will continue next school year. In place for two years, the Delayed Start Working Wednesday program was introduced as a way of providing staff professional development time during COVID-19. During that time, the program has proven both beneficial as a means of providing professional development and success as a cost-cutting measure.
In each of the two years prior to Working Wednesdays, the district spent approximately $50,000 per year providing training and substitute teachers during school days. That cost has been significantly reduced since the introduction of the Delayed Start Working Wednesdays.
