Approve the 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 Student Academic Calendars
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Calendar Committee met on March 28, 2012, to examine options regarding the 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 student academic calendars.  Attached are the recommendations from the Calendar Committee as presented and approved by the Superintendent on April 12, 2012.  Variations to these calendars may occur in the future as mandated by statutory requirements.

In addition, an alternative start date has been developed for Rampello Downtown Partnership School due to the Republican National Convention (RNC) being held in the downtown area.  Rampello School will start one week prior to the regular session on Tuesday, August 14, 2012, through Monday, August 20, 2012 (five school days).  Rampello students will not be in session for the week of the RNC, August 27-31, 2012. 

The Calendar Committee consists of 68 members representing parents, students, community members, Parent Teacher Association, Hillsborough School Employees Federation, Classroom Teachers Association, school-based administrators, and district-level administration.  Student representatives are also members of the Student Government Association.
