Results from the parent preference survey showed overwhelming support for Early Release Mondays. A total of 4,884 votes were cast with 81% in favor. As such, I have determined that students will be released early on the fourteen Mondays scheduled on the 2016-17 school year calendar. September 12th is scheduled as the first early release Monday. Elementary and high school students will be released at 1:00 PM and middle school students will be released at 1:30 PM.
