DeKalb sets revised school calendar

The DeKalb school board Monday approved a revised school calendar following the late addition of furlough days to fill a $15 million budget shortfall. The first day of school will still begin Aug. 8, but furlough days have been built in throughout the school year. Ten- and 11-month employees, such as teachers, will have to take four furlough days, while 12-month employees, such as administrators, have seven unpaid days off. Information: dekalb.k12.ga.us
