II. Public Hearing - modification of school calendar - Illinois School Code 105 ILCS 5/24-2
Berwyn South School District 100 is requesting a modification of 105 ILCS 5/24-2, which states that teachers shall not be required to work on legal school holidays. On the dates listed below the district will either: hold regular school with student attendance; hold a parent-teacher conference; hold a school improvement session; hold a teacher in-service; or conduct a teacher institute. Specifically, the district would like to modify the section to exclude the dates below from this provision: Martin Luther King., Jr.’s Birthday, Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday, Casimir Pulaski Day, Columbus Day, Veterans’ Day It would be the intent of Berwyn South School District 100 to treat these days as commemorative holidays, during which time the faculty and administrators of the district would coordinate activities which would instruct students on the accomplishments of Dr. King, President Lincoln, General Pulaski, Christopher Columbus and all veterans of foreign wars. We feel that these types of activities would add an educational perspective to the meaning of these days for our students. If a parent-teacher conference, a teacher in-service or a teacher institute is scheduled on the actual holiday, the activities would be performed either the day before or the day after the holiday. |
