School system considers multiple calendars for 2012-13
The DeKalb County School District is surveying public opinion on three attendance calendar proposals for the next school year.
All three include Wednesdays that are an hour shorter, with students released early. The proposals shift the number of days in each semester, but maintain the same total of 180 days.
The proposals were generated by a committee including parents, teachers, principals and district office staff. See the proposals for the 2012-13 calendar and vote online: www.dekalb.k12.ga.us/calendar/proposed.html.
