School Board approves calendar for 2015-16

The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Board of Education approved the new school calendar for 2015-16 at their regular meeting this past Monday. The first day of classes will be August 24, with Christmas break scheduled from December 23 to January 3 with classes beginning on January 4. The final day of classes, pending make-up days, will be May 24 with Commencement on May 22. “This calendar shortens the holiday break, and also ends the year earlier,” said Superintendent Dr. Bob Olson. Other new business included approving both the district core values, which had input from staff, and studying revisions to both the short-term and long-term goals for the district. The latter will now be considered at the Board’s next work session.
