As end of classes approaches, calendar set for next school year With June officially in sight, the Halton District School Board trustees have already been preparing for the next school year. They approved the proposed 2014-15 school year calendar and submitted it to the provincial government by the May 1 deadline. The first day of school for Halton's public board students will be Tuesday, Sept 2, 2014. The final day is Thursday, June 25, 2015. The next school year will have six Professional Activity (PA) days at the elementary and secondary levels that fall on the following dates: Oct. 10, Nov. 21, Jan. 30, 2015, Feb. 13, 2015, April 24, 2015 (secondary schools only), June 5, 2015 (elementary only), and June 26, 2015. The Education Act requires school boards to establish a school year calendar with a minimum of 194 school days, no more than six days designated as PA days and at least 188 instructional days. The calendar was developed through the board's 20-member School Year Calendar Committee. School boards must submit their calendar to the education ministry by May 1 for final approval.

Oakville trustee Kathryn Bateman-Olmstead wondered if there was the possibility of going to year-round schooling in Halton schools. "That would require a very special motion by the board," said Education Director David Euale. He said a special report would have to be submitted to the education ministry by March of the year before the intended implementation. There was no further discussion. 3 | Thursday, May 15, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com SAVE WHEN YOU SPEND $50 OR MORE ON ANYTHING IN THE STORE. EXPIRES MAY 31, 2014.
