Adoption of Calendar. The School Board will adopt, pursuant to law, calendars for the appropriate school years. The Educational Policy Committee shall present its calendar recommendations to the School Board no later than March 15 of the appropriate year. The Educational Policy Committee will make every reasonable effort to present to the School Board for consideration a calendar, which is consistent with past practice and enables the School District to meet its contractual and legal obligations, having 190 contract days for returning teachers and 193 contract days for new teachers. However, if the School Board determines that, in order to meet its contractual and legal obligations, the calendar should include more days, the School Board shall have the option to adopt a calendar that includes up to three (3) additional days. If the School Board exercises this option, any teacher who works such additional days shall be paid for working such additional days on a pro rata basis.
Adoption of Calendar. The School Committee shall consult with the Franklin Education Association prior to the adoption of the calendar. The final decision is with the School Committee.
Adoption of Calendar. The adoption of a school calendar is a prerogative that belongs solely to the Board of Education. The Board recognizes the value of input to this calendar from the groups affected, i.e. the administrators, principals, and teachers. The Board through its management personnel shall appoint three (3) representatives from the central office and three (3) principals. Three (3) members from the Association shall be chosen by the Association. These nine (9) will discuss the school year calendar and make recommendation to the Board.
