Grant County board OKs school calendar

               The Grant County school board has approved a calendar for next fall, adding two three-day sessions to provide remedial help for students who are behind.

        The district had considered an alternative calendar that would shorten summer vacation but give students two-week breaks in the fall, winter and spring. Those breaks would have been used to offer enrichment activities and remediation.

        However, parents, teachers and staff were strongly divided on the proposal, so the district chose a modified version with only a few days off each semester.

        Starting this fall, the district will offer the extra instruction during three-day sessions in October and February. School is to begin Aug. 9.
