If this year’s school calendar fit your needs then you will like next year’s schedule which, with the exception of some minor tweaks, is almost the same.“The calendar for 2017-18 pretty well mirrors this year’s,” said Director of Schools Bobby Cox in presenting the calendar to the Board of Education for consideration. The calendar was unanimously approved.Cox said he opened the door for changes in the coming year and used feedback to slightly modify the calendar.One area of change is students will return one day later from Christmas break, with classes starting Jan. 4 instead of Jan. 3. The issue, Cox said, was teachers were required to return for in-service work the day after New Year’s Day.
