EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The school calendar for the 2018-2019 academic year was adopted by the Board on November 17, 2016. Two months ago staff began working on a pragmatic solution to manage safety and security on Election Day. In the mean time other factors have come to light. Staff has considered multiple options which have ultimately led to a new recommendation, which will alleviate student safety concerns and allow schools the opportunity to train staff on safety protocols.
The following revisions are recommended:
- Change Tuesday, November 6, 2018 to a Teacher Work Day. This is currently a regular school day.
- Change Friday, March 8, 2019 to a regular school day. This is currently a Teacher Work Day. This revision will not change the total number of instruction days for students.
MOTION STATEMENT:
I move that the Fulton County Board of Education accept the recommendation for revision of the 2018-2019 school year calendar for action.
