At the work session on February 1, Dr. Brian Weaver presented a first read of the draft school calendar for the 2021-2022 year. He reported that two calendar committee meetings were held virtually and were comprised of staff members from each school and parent representatives. North Carolina schools have little flexibility in their calendars due to state legislation; however, counties such as Transylvania that qualify for a weather waiver may start next year as early as the Monday closest to August 19. The calendar committee chose to begin school on Monday, August 16, 2021 to allow for the conclusion of the first semester before the Christmas break. In all other aspects, the proposed calendar is very similar to the current calendar. The last student day will be the Friday prior to Memorial Day. The draft calendar is attached. Dr. Weaver will answer any questions you may have.
A motion is in order to approve the school calendar for the 2021-2022 year.
