Based on the GMAS requirements for testing in April/May (The rule is no more than 25 days from the last day of school.) 

Action Item: Move the first day of school 3-5 days earlier which would allow for school year to end earlier and comply with the GMAS testing window requirements

MAP testing and Milestone testing dates have shifted to comply with requirements set by the state for testing window.  Milestones are now May 13-15.

Reviewed 3 different bell schedule options.  Input is being gathered from Board, Staff, and Families.
