NEWARK – School system officials approved a calendar for the 2021-2022 school year that tentatively ends the school year June 14, 2022.
On Tuesday, the Worcester County Board of Education voted to approve a calendar for the next school year that goes from Sept. 7 to June 14, 2022.
“It’s pretty straightforward,” Superintendent Lou Taylor said.
In December, Carrie Sterrs, the school system’s coordinator of public relations and special programs, presented the school board with two calendar options. One was designed to end the school year as early as possible while the other included more frequent and longer breaks throughout the school year. While COVID-19 prevented the school system from forming its usual calendar committee, the school community was able to weigh in on the calendar options through a survey that was conducted in January.
That’s reasonable.
