ANNOUNCMENT FROM CBSD - CHANGES to DISTRICT CALENDAR
Dear Central Bucks Staff and Community,
Last night our school board curriculum committee discussed several ways to address the snow make up days in the calendar for the current school year. We will not be losing any days during the spring break, and we will end the school year on June 14 as originally planned. The committee is moving the following recommendation to the March 12 board agenda for approval:
- Spring break will not be changed and the entire week of March 25 up to and including Monday April 1 will remain a spring break.
- The last day of school for students and staff will be Friday June 14.
- Commencement will be scheduled for Thursday June 13. Principals from each high school will communicate times and locations.
In December, a new law passed in Pennsylvania that allows school districts to use the minimum number of hours to meet the attendance requirements. Prior to this year, we had to meet a requirement of 180 days AND 900 (Elementary) 990 (secondary) hours. The new law requires students to attend school for 180 days OR the minimum number of hours. Our students attend well over the minimum hours, so we already met that requirement.
If we have to endure another snow day in March, we are working with our staff to prepare for students to attend school in an online format. More information will be coming if we see the potential for another winter storm. Thanks in advance for your patience and support if we have to work through that process.
In addition, the 2024-25 calendar was discussed and it will be moved to the March 12 board meeting also. Attached is a copy of the calendar.
Sincerely,
Jim Scanlon
Acting Superintendent
