SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Early Release Days (Deputy Superintendent)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the direction of the Board and Superintendent a committee was formed to review and make a recommendation regarding early release options.  The committee, made up of parents, teachers, principals, area director, union representatives, Citizen Advisory Council, and students, held meetings and developed their recommendation.

At the January 25, 2011, School Board Workshop the Early Release Committee's recommendation was presented to the Board.  The committee recommended weekly one-hour late start Mondays in lieu of the current 14-two hour early release Wednesdays.  After review of the committee's recommendation, discussions by the Board, further input from principals, and suggestions from the community, the Superintendent's recommendation is that the Board approve the committee's proposal to have weekly one-hour planning time for teachers.  However, in lieu of the committee's suggestions to have a weekly late start on Monday, it is recommended that it be a weekly, one-hour, early release on Monday.
