Background:
|
|
On December 19, 2023, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors (MBSD) approved the Districtwide school calendar for the 2024-2025 school year. Since the approval of the calendar, the need for a minor modification has been identified. Specifically, we are requesting to move the November 8, 2024, Record Day/Professional Development Day to November 5, 2024, to help reduce the number of people in our buildings on election day as many of our schools serve as polling sites. We are also requesting to move the January 17th Record Day/Professional Development Day to January 24th to better balance the number of instructional days between the semesters for high schools. Lastly, in order to better meet the needs of our schools, we are requesting that the June Professional Development Day and Record Day be bifurcated between K8 schools and high schools. |
