Trustees Consider Draft Calendar
for 2013/14
A draft calendar for the 2013/14 school year has been circulated and is now under consideration by the Huntington School Board. The plan would have school begin on Wednesday September 4 and finish on Friday, June 20, 2014. Trustees could adopt a finalized calendar at their January 7 public meeting.
Under the draft plan, teachers and staff would report to their buildings for meetings on Tuesday, September 3, with students starting classes the following day. There would be 180 days of instruction with two other days set aside for faculty conferences. Two contingency days are also built into the plan to address possible school closings due to snow or other emergencies.
Schools would be closed on September 5-6 (Rosh Hashanah) October 14 (Columbus Day), November 5 (Election Day/Supt. Conference Day), November 11 (Veterans Day), November 28-29 (Thanksgiving recess), December 23-January 1 (Winter recess), January 20 (Martin Luther King Day), February 17 (President's Day), February 18-21 (Mid-Winter recess), April 14-18 (Spring recess) and May 23 and 26 (Memorial Day weekend). There are no days off in either March or June.
If a school closing forces the use of a contingency day, schools will be open on May 24. If a second contingency day is needed, schools will also be open on April 14.
