SCHOOL CALENDAR
The Board believes the district’s calendar should reflect the educational philosophy of the district and provide an equal opportunity for all students to participate in a quality educational program.
The superintendent of schools shall have the responsibility for developing a school calendar for recommendation, approval, and adoption by the Board each year prior to the time of issuance of personnel contractors for the year for which the calendar was adopted. The adopted official school calendar shall comply with the legal requirements pertaining to the starting date, length of the school year, inservice training for personnel, and any other areas designated by Iowa law.
The Board shall have the prerogative to amend the official school calendar when the Board considers the change to be in the best interests of the district’s educational program.
