School Year Total

180 Instruction Days / Four 9 week grading Periods / 5 Administrative Days / 3 In-service Days

Time is stockpiled as per state law to allow for up to thirteen days of school being missed due to "dangerous or extreme weather conditions" or "upon approval by the [SDE] Commissioner . . . in case of natural disaster, serious outbreaks of illness affecting or endangering students or staff, or dangerous structural or environmental conditions rendering a school unsafe for use." Days stockpiled in this manner are NOT subject to being "taken off" if not used in a school year. [TCA 49-6-3004] Two such days are used in this calendar: 3/11/2010 as a parent conference day and 3/12/2010 as an inservice/professional development day.

State regulations require 10 administrative & in-service days. At least 5 of these days must be used for in-service, and 1 administrative day must be a parent conference day.

This calendar schedules four [4] administrative days in addition to one [1] parent conference day, and three [3] of the five [5] allowable in-service days.

Remaining in-service days [2] may be earned through activities chosen by a teacher outside statutory paid days of this calendar only with principal approval.
