Atlanta ends year-round school calendars

The Atlanta school board voted Monday to eliminate year-round instructional calenders still used at two elementary schools.

A report from Superintendent Erroll Davis presented to the Atlanta Board of Education said a survey found that parents at Hutchinson Elementary parents opposed the year-round calendar, and Boyd Elementary parents were neutral.

The calendar for traditional public schools calls for the 2014-2015 school year to begin Aug. 4, with a fall break in October and a winter break in February.
