One item that normally receives plenty of attention for families throughout the Hamilton Southeastern School District is the school calendar.  When is the first day of school?  When is the last day of school?  When is fall break, spring break and how is the winter break set for December & January?

The school board was briefed on options on the 2023-2024 school calendar, what the 2024-2025 calendar may feature and one change in the upcoming 2022-2023 school year required by a change in state law.

First, Assistant Superintendent Matt Kegley told the board the Indiana General Assembly is limiting e-learning days to 3 days in a school year calendar, resulting in the cancellation of a previously-scheduled e-learning day in April of 2023, if the board approves at the next meeting.

Kegley presented two possible calendars for the 2023-2024 school year.  One would have students report August 9th, but the last day of classes would be May 29th.  A second option would start classes August 3rd, with the last day of school the following May 23rd.

For the 2024-2025 calendar, the calendar falls a little differently, beginning school for students August 7th and the last day of classes proposed for the following May 28th.

Kegley also explained changes in snow days, adding flex days to the calendar in case a snow day is needed, then going to e-learning and virtual learning when required if snow days accumulate.

The board will take a final vote on the calendars at the April 27th board session.
