011this will give us some room and still puts us last day for kids May 22nd end graduation the 23rd and closing day May the 26 I know a lot of you probably get calls from teachers W to start later in a and Clinton and I looked at it but if you start a week later it puts you getting out you can see there it puts you getting out down at the bottom that last you going to be in school the last week in May and if you have a winner like we have this year another one man I you're going to be mid June trying to get out of school and there is legislature right now there's a bill in in the legislature that he just talking about doing away with the ni days I
012know some probably seen that um for next school year so there's a little push about that so we looked at starting that first week in August and that would put our teachers coming back uh in June doing their PD time and with us getting out of school as lat as going to this year we just didn't work as a b op and so we we tried to cut the cut in the middle there and take the the middle ground and so that's what we come up with pretty good calendar any questions folks before we adjourn uh I know Miss didn't come to be recognized but June was my teacher in the third and fourth grade and she was always one of my favorite and she is very special to me and I wasn't an easy

014counters anything you all don't like yeah after everything's I've had a few people talk about it after everything's that we is done with the virtual is there any virtual learning days we can we can do after the ni days and all that's taken up for next school year or this school year this school year um there is some legisl about that right now too but they wanted to talk to us about I try to get clean to get some information on it and all we know right now is that there is there's a bill out there that the commissioner of Education Robbie Fletcher is trying to get past that will give us five more days and the verage on it states that you have to be in school June the 5th and if you are
015then he can for days but there's also some language that we can't get clarity on that says maybe you have to add more minutes to your day to get that which would what was it 25 minutes on the IR PL you can add 25 up to 25 minutes that would be 420 minutes of instruction per day and we can't get clarity on whether that is mandatory to get the the five days for given but as far as having more virtual learning days that that's enough they're not going to do that that's what I was saying that forol there's a bill to do away with completely yes any more questions okay U the next board meeting uh Mr Crawford will be out of town on the regular scheduled board meeting on March 25th that Tuesday is
