Times staff report
Calendars for Carbon County District 2 schools now match within communities.
Though next year’s calendars still vary across the district, each schooling area should see holidays that coincide between primary and secondary schools.
Each calendar was approved by School Board members during a Monday meeting.
School administrators tried to create common staff development days and similar Christmas and spring break vacations. Any variance is limited to the final weeks of school.
For instance, Brad Barrow matched Hanna Elk Mountain Medicine Bow Junior Senior High School’s starting date and holidays with the elementary school’s. His in-service days coincide with Saratoga Middle High School’s. Barlow is the principal for HEM.
“It is difficult to make the schedules start after Labor Day and end before Memorial Day,” said Larry Uhling, principal of Saratoga Middle High School. He was responding to questions about the length of the school year, which ends in June this year.
Most of the changes respond to community concerns voiced in surveys issued earlier this year, according to District 2 Superintendent Bob Gates.
