2013-14 School Year to End a Day Early

Published March 28, 2014

The Williamson County Schools 2013-14 calendar for students will end a day early. At the March 24 School Board meeting, Superintendent Dr. Mike Looney told Board members he will request the district use one of the few unused inclement weather days and dismiss one day early this year. The Board will vote on that request at its April meeting.

The school year for students will end with a half day on Wednesday, May 21. The final day for teachers will remain the same, Friday, May 23, but teachers will spend Thursday, May 22 in professional development. District leaders say the extra day will give teachers a valuable opportunity to begin preparations for the year ahead.

"Williamson County Schools plans to use the extra professional development day to give our teachers time to learn together with respect to a few key areas of focus," said WCS Professional Development Coordinator Laurette Carle. "Principals will lead the day at their sites with plans developed by the district to deepen understanding of Response to Intervention (RTI), our updated Scope and Sequence documents guiding instruction for the upcoming school year, and resources available for our transition to new assessments in 2014-15."
