When Hamilton Southeastern school district students return from their winter break, they will be reporting one day earlier than originally planned.

Monday, January 6th, was on the original school calendar as a teacher workday.  With the Red for Ed teacher gathering at the Statehouse, over 300 HSE teachers asked to take a personal day to attend the November 19th event in downtown Indianapolis.

That resulted in Superintendent Allen Bourff switching November 19th as a teacher work day, since filling classrooms would be so difficult with so many teachers taking personal days.  Bourff said at the time he would be recommending that the board switch January 6th to a full school day with students expected to report.

The school board unanimously approved Dr. Bourff’s request, officially changing January 6th to a regular school day.
