RATIONALE
|
Attached is the final draft of the 2020-2021 academic calendar for approval. This calendar was developed by a committee composed of representatives from each of the five schools, a parent, an administrator, and a central office representative. Each representative was charged with soliciting input from the constituents of their respective groups.
In developing the calendar, the goal was to complete first semester before winter holidays. Prior precedent was used as the format for the development of the majority of the calendar. The calendar includes the use of 7 bank days per semester. Three make-up days are included in the calendar on February 15, March 4, and 5, 2021 and other possible make-up days will be added at the end of the year if necessary. The calendar includes two days at Fall Break, two days at Spring Break and three days Spring Holiday. ACPS has worked closely with Covington City Schools to develop a common calendar to allow for more continuity with shared programs.
