NOTE: A new 3-year collective bargaining agreement with Spokane Education Association returns our district to an academic calendar that includes a weekly late start teacher collaboration day. Starting Sept. 12, 2022, students will begin their school day one hour later each Monday, which allows teachers time to work with colleagues around student learning and supports. Providing structured time within the workday for teachers and other certificated staff to collaborate is an educational best practice consistent with other area school districts. Having a late start Monday consistently scheduled every week will allow families to plan ahead, rather than the past practice of identifying various Fridays throughout the year.
