BOE sets 2013-2014 calendar

The Jackson County Board of Education approved a school calendar for the 2013-2014 school year at its meeting Monday night.

Students will begin classes on Aug. 8 with teachers starting on Aug. 1 for preplanning.
The last day of classes will be May 23, 2014.
Students will have vacation days on Sept. 2; Oct. 11 and 14; Nov. 27-29; Dec. 23-Jan 3; Jan. 20; Feb. 14 and 17; March 14 (teacher planning day) and 17; and April 7-11.
If budget constraints cause the system to have to cut days, Nov. 25 and 26 are slated for that. The system won’t set its new budget until later this spring.
