Kanawha Board Of Education Approves Traditional Calendar
WEST VIRGINIA....
The Kanawha Board of Education has voted 4-1 to accept a traditional calendar for the 2011-2012 school year. Board member Becky Jordon cast the lone dissenting vote, saying she preferred an early-start calendar. Under that proposed plan, teachers would have started school August 8th and students would have begun August 11th and would have finished the year by May 17th, without any make-up days, or May 23rd, if all six make-up days were used. Teachers would have finished May 24th. The approved traditional calendar will have teachers back in school August 17th. with students following on August 22nd and their last day being May 29th, or June 4th, if all make-up days are used.
The last day for teachers will be June 5th.
