SALISBURY – Community members will have an opportunity to provide their thoughts on two draft school calendars.
Last Tuesday, the Wicomico County Board of Education approved on first reading the drafts of two proposed school calendars for the 2022-2023 academic year. Kim Miles, assistant superintendent for student and family services, noted that both versions of the school calendar were similar, but proposed different winter breaks and school end dates.
“Drafts A and B are very similar with the exception of two months,” she said. “Those are December and June.”
In Draft A, the academic year would begin on Sept. 6 and end on June 9. It also proposes a winter break from Dec. 22 through Dec. 30, with students returning to school Jan. 2. In Draft B, the academic year would begin on Sept. 6 and end on June 14. The winter break would run from Dec. 19 through Dec. 30, with students returning Jan. 2.
With the board’s approval last week, officials say both calendars will be posted on www.wcboe.org. Miles noted that the school system will also seek the community’s input on both calendars using an online survey.
