What is the purpose of eliminating these early release days? The stakeholders have already spoken about a calendar, and it has already been publicly released. Teachers need these valuable hours to collaborate, especially across disciplines and at the elementary level. Because this was negotiated after the fact, I request that the board reject this MOU and retain the early release days on the current 25-26 calendar.
The last day of school should NEVER be a full day. It should always be an early release day. Grades are done, laptop carts have been turned in, there is nothing to do. Teachers should not be babysitters.
