It appears the issue of school calendars in the Hamilton Southeastern District is not over yet. The school board has scheduled a special meeting Wednesday, Nov. 29.
Board President Matt Burke says he called the meeting after consulting with HSE Superintendent Allen Bourff and after discussions with a majority of school board members he was able to contact on short notice.
Burke says he called the special session to let the community know they “have been heard” by members of the school board. Although he called the special meeting, Burke added that he does not know what the result would be if a school calendar reconsideration vote is taken.
The published agenda for the Nov. 29 meeting says the board “will consider taking action” on the school calendar issue, and “will discuss changing and/or amending the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 calendars.”
At the Nov. 20 meeting, the board voted 4-3 to start school two days earlier than school administrators had recommended and added those two days to the Thanksgiving week break in the coming two school years.
The special board meeting will be held at the administration building on Cumberland Road at 7 p.m.
