Superintendent Boland reported with the change of the 2018-2019 school calendar, adjustments had to be
made to align teacher contract days with the new changes of the calendar. A committee was formed which
consisted of Superintendent Boland, Teachers, IFEA Representatives, Assistant Superintendents, and Building
Principals. The proposal that came forward was to add one additional work day at the end of the school year,
two staff development days will occur during individual flex times and monitored at the building level. Some
have already fulfilled their requirement in advance through D91 University over the summer, working on
their master’s degree, and if needed, changes made in individual professional learning plans. The remaining
day will be split up over the course of the school year to implement safety training which will be one hour a
month. An additional meeting is scheduled with the IFEA Representative Council to discuss any questions,
concerns or feedback they may have with the changes, then the certificated staff will be informed.
