The Wayne County Board of Education met in regular session last night
(Monday) and approved the staffing formulas for the site-based councils in
the district. Superintendent John Dalton noted that these are the same
formulas from last year, but added that the district may have to take action
on these again, after the state legislature holds it special session and
adopts a budget.
Another thing that could change after the special session is the number
of days in the school calendar next year. With that in mind, the board
approved two versions of the school calendar for the 2010-2011 school year.
One calendar includes 187 days, while the other includes 185 days, which has
been proposed by the state legislature but has not been approved. Both
calendars have the same start date for students same end date for students days included in Christmas break. If the district operates under the 187 day
calendar, Christmas break will be two days short of the traditional two week
break. Under the calendar with fewer days, Christmas break would be the two
weeks.
Also during the meeting, the board approved the amended calender for the
current school year. The final day for classes will be June 3. Closing day
for teachers is June 4.
