Exchange Days
2021-2022
Exchange Days are Required
The board approved 2021-2022 GISD Academic Calendar includes 3 staff exchange days.
The 2021-2022 exchange days are November 22, 23, and 24 of 2021.
Having these 3 exchange days will allow staff to have the whole week of Thanksgiving off.
Exchange Day Specifics
If an employee opts out of completing exchange time or does not complete the required amount of hours, those exchange days/that time will be recaptured by the district.
3 exchange days equals a total of 18 hours of CPE credit
Exchange day credits must be earned between May 31, 2021 and July 30, 2021 (during non-contract time). Training hours completed prior to or after this window will not be counted toward exchange days.
