Requesting information about the decision behind the drafted proposal of School Year 2024 Calendar

[Zandrea Glenn]

Hello LA School Board Members,

I am writing the School Board to inquire about the Los Alamos School Calendar.  Last year, there was a designated calendar committee, as well as, a survey asking the public's preference for school breaks.  The Los Alamos local paper stated the results of that survey - most having a preference for Calendar A, which had the longest number of weeks in the Summer and no Fall break - also, Board Members stated in that article that the 2023 School Year would be a trial run with a combination of Calendar A and Calendar C.

The draft for School Year Calendar 2024-25, posted on the LAPS web page, looks a lot like this year's calendar with 3 large breaks one after another, starting with Fall break, followed by Thanksgiving break, and 2 weeks for Winter break.  Please provide more information on why the Board has posted a Draft calendar with 3 big breaks so close together in the middle of the school year.  Also, is there a calendar committee for this year?  Will that committee be asking for the public's preference again? 

Thank you for your time.  I look forward to your response. 

V/R,

Zandrea Glenn
