As Geary USD 475 begins the process of working on upcoming calendar options the school board has approved staff recommendations on primary criteria that will be non-negotiable. They include:
--A minimum of six 5-day weeks in each quarter to help alleviate concern about frequent breaks in the intended curriculum.
--There would be one professional development day in each quarter.
--There would be five emergency event days.
School would start between Aug. 14 - 17 and end prior to Memorial Day.
There will be a district committee working on the upcoming calendar (s ). As part of that process, as always, the Junction City Education Association will have input.
