When Hamilton Southeastern Schools students return from their winter break, they will be reporting one day earlier than originally planned.
Monday, Jan. 6, was on the original school calendar as a teacher workday. With the Red for Ed teacher gathering at the Statehouse, over 300 HSE teachers asked to take a personal day to attend the Nov. 19 event in downtown Indianapolis.
That resulted in Superintendent Allen Bourff switching Nov. 19 as a teacher work day, since filling classrooms would be so difficult with so many teachers taking personal days. Bourff said at the time he would recommend that the board switch Jan. 6 to a full school day with students expected to report.
The school board unanimously approved Dr. Bourff’s request, officially changing Jan. 6 to a regular school day.
