Calendar Waiver/Modification Law
Notice of Public Hearing Illinois P.A. 96-640 was
enacted on August 24, 2009. This Act provides that a school board is
authorized to hold school on several legal school holidays, including
the birthday of Casimir Pulaski (first Monday in March). For the 2012-13
school year the Board of Education of CUSD #205 has approved that
Monday, March 4, 2013 is to be used as a day of student attendance. In
order for this proposed calendar modification to become official, the
Board must first hold a public hearing about the proposal. The school
board is providing notice preceding the public hearing to both educators
and parents. The hearing will be held at 6:45PM on Monday, June 25th
in the Board Room of the Lincoln Education Center, 932 Harrison St.
The proposal being considered is
the use of the Casimir Pulaski legal school holiday as a day of school
attendance. At the hearing, testimony from educators and parents will be
taken about the proposal. Any interested parents or educators are encouraged
to come to the hearing and give input.
