As authorized by state law, the Board shall establish the annual school calendar that fixes the dates and days of attendance based upon the recommendations of the calendar committee which is composed of one teacher, three parents (representing elementary, middle school, and high school age students), student, administrator, educational support employee and Board member. The calendar committee will recommend calendars for two school years. The committee shall complete its duties by December 1 of the year preceding the expiration of the currently adopted calendar cycle.
