RE:

Amendment of 2008-09 Calendars for Brooks and Johnson Street Global Studies

The Board of Education approved at its March 20, 2008 meeting to extend the 2008 summer break for students attending Brooks Global and Johnson Street by one week (five days).  This action resulted in the first day of school starting on August 5, 2008.  As a result of this action, the total number of school days for next year would be 195 vs. the traditional 200.  In order to maintain the traditional 200 day calendar for both schools, the last day of school needs to be amended to June 24, 2008 rather than June 17, 2008.

RECOMMENDATION:  We recommend approval of staff’s request to make the last day of school at Brooks Global and Johnson Street June 24, 2008 in order to maintain the traditional 200 day calendar.
