NEWARK – School system officials unveiled two calendar options this month for the next school year.
At the November meeting of the Worcester County Board of Education, school system officials presented two calendar options for the 2022-2023 school year. One calendar ends the academic year June 8 while the other, which features longer breaks, ends the school year June 20.
“We intend to publicize these calendar options as soon as possible alongside that traditional survey tool that we use to give all of our stakeholders the opportunity to weigh in on what option they prefer and any suggestions they may have,” said Carrie Sterrs, the school system’s coordinator of public relations and special programs.
Each fall, officials present the school board with at least two calendar options. One option aims to end the school year as early as possible while the other features longer breaks.
“These two proposals for our 2022-2023 calendar were designed to meet state and local requirements while maintaining those focus areas our stakeholders most often choose between,” Sterrs said. “I want to note that with both proposals three inclement weather days are built into the end of the school year however as we’ve done this year as well as last year’s process, we note that beyond those three days it’s our intention as a board not to further alter the calendar with any closures but to transition to distance learning.”
Oh God here we go. Worrying about when you end school. How about working on giving a quality education to students. And showing up. Instead of when your summer vacation starts. Christ almighty!!!!
