Note: Oct 16 is a school-closed day for students (teacher PD in morning, family conferences in afternoon). Nov 3 is Election Day, an E-Commute Teacher Workday, and students do not report. Jan 4 and Apr 12 are closed for students (teacher planning days). Jan 25 is a teacher workday and students do not report. Jan 26 is a Regional Prof. Development Day; the grid shows it as schools closed, offices open, but the text does not say students are out. Nov 25 is closed for students, with a half day for 12-month employees. Jan 20-22 are high school exam days with a 1/2 day for high schools only. Early dismissal on Jun 4, 7 and 8 applies to ECC, elementary, middle and high schools. Mar 5 is a half day for students with family conferences in the afternoon.
