Procedures for handling the second set of furlough days

As you know, the Governor has called for three additional furlough days between now and the end of the 2009-2010 school year. The district has attempted to schedule those days so that student learning will be minimally impacted and in such a way as to provide as little disruption as possible to the services we provide to our students, parents, and community.

We regret having to implement these mandates, but ultimately we know that such measures are necessitated by the ongoing economic crisis brought about by shortfalls in state revenue. As we did before, we will lessen the impact of lost compensation by spreading the salary reductions throughout the remainder of the 12 month payroll period. The work days that will be recommended to the Board of Education for approval to be designated as furlough days are listed below.
