A.
Updated School Calendar 2023-2024
Mrs. Panasiuk informed the board about the need for revisions to the school calendar due to pre-opening circumstances.
A formal request was made to postpone the start of the school year until September 5th. The updated calendar, including 180 instructional days and 10 professional development (PD) days, has been reviewed and approved by the Limestone Charter Association.
The revised calendar was a collaborative effort between the school and service provider staff. However, it was noted that implementing this additional calendar would result in incurring a financial expense equivalent to one extra payroll.
Principal Panasiuk is optimistic that the parents will receive the new school calendar with a positive acceptance, as the waiting list has increased to a healthy status.
