Changes to the calendar beginning in 2019-2020

In addition to changes added in 2018-2019:

• Strike Veterans Day Holiday (becomes student attendance day in place of adding a 4th day to Easter weekend)
• Move up spring conferences by one week on calendar (week of March 16, 2019). Day off on Friday would start Spring Break
• De-couple spring break from Easter, moving spring break to the last full week in March
• Keep Good Friday Holiday
• Reallocate Veterans Day to Monday after Easter for student and staff holiday, making Easter weekend a 4-day weekend.

 These changes allow the following:

• Veterans Day holiday (day off) is reallocated to Monday following Easter, better balancing our semesters
• Moves conference time closer to mid-term of semester
• Allows Spring Break to start with Friday, since no school due to Conferences adjustment
• Good Friday is a holiday in bargaining contracts, and has been part of Spring Break in the past. Will now stand alone, and with Easter Monday off, families would still have a 4-day weekend to travel
• Would still allow us to have a break around Easter with no extra days
