Under state law, a school calendar has to contain a total of 215 days. For the 2018-19 school year, there are 185 student days, 10 annual leave (vacation) days, and 11 holidays.

The Calendar Committee reviewed 17 possible calendars for the 2018-19 term and then narrowed the number to two sample calendars that were placed on the school system’s website for review. Based on feedback, the calendar submitted was approved by the Board of Education at their December meeting.
