Atlanta schools: APS asks for community input on school calendars

It’s been nearly 20 years since Atlanta schools started after Labor Day.

And the potential calendars for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years continue that tradition.

Atlanta Public Schools is asking people to weigh in on three possible calendars for future years:

Option A: Starts on Monday, Aug. 7. Three-day breaks for students in October and February.
Option B: Starts on Wednesday, Aug. 9. Two-day breaks for students in October and February.
Option C: Starts Tuesday, Aug. 1. Five-day breaks for students in October and February.

All end before Memorial Day.
