School Administrators and
Secretaries Report to Work |
The school year calendar incorporates the following
understandings:
1.
That two Chancellor’s Conference Days
are to be used for staff development related to the Regents High Learning
Standards and Assessments (September 3 and 4 in elementary, middle schools and
high schools);
2.
That this calendar does not
preclude subsequent changes that may be made pursuant to collective bargaining
agreements or for other reasons, but in no case can this calendar or subsequent
changes result in a loss of state aid;
3.
That all requests for shortened
sessions resulting in early dismissals of students and any other changes in this
calendar must be submitted to http://schools.nyc.gov/Calendar/changerequests.htm.
Subsequent to receiving approval, 4 weeks prior notification to parents must be
provided;
4.
That the Chancellor shall use the
power vested in him by law when, in violation of this citywide school year
calendar, a school is closed or shortened sessions (defined in section 9 below)
are scheduled without prior authorization.
The following should also be noted:
5.
The School Year Calendar for
2009-2010 meets the State Education Department requirement of a minimum of 180
state aidable days in all schools in the City School
District.
6.
All schools will be open citywide
on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2009, and on Thursday, June 10, 2010 for
a Chancellor’s Conference Day for staff development and on both days students
IN ALL FIVE BOROUGHS will not be in attendance.
7.
Monday, February 1 will be
scheduled by all high schools for professional development related to the
Regents High Learning Standards and Assessments. No high school students will
be in attendance, with the exception of High school level students in District
75 (these students will be in attendance on February 1). The high school spring
term begins on Tuesday, February 2 with a full day of instruction.
8.
All schools will be open on
Friday, February 12, 2010 and students will be in attendance.
9.
As a result of professional /
Chancellor Conference Days, shortened sessions for various purposes, and
Regents Days, the total number of instructional days (days when students report
to school) may be different from the number of state aidable
days. A shortened session is any day when school is in session for kindergarten
through grade 6 students for less than 5 hours of instruction, exclusive of
lunch and of the extra session of 37.5 minutes for targeted students, or any
day when school is in session for grade 7 and above students for less than 5.5
hours of instruction, exclusive of lunch and of the extra session of 37.5
minutes for targeted students.
10.
Calculations of aidable days incorporate Chancellor Conference/Regents
Examination Days. Under Commissioner's Regulations, Chancellor Conference Days
may include general staff orientation, curriculum development, in-service
education, or Parent-Teacher Conferences. They may not include routine
administrative matters such as grading examinations or pupil assignments,
recordkeeping, or lesson planning.
11.
In part, the school calendar takes
into account the following citywide centrally-scheduled shortened sessions: two
Parent-Teacher Conference shortened sessions (one in the Fall Term and one in
the Spring Term), and other citywide shortened sessions. Separate notifications
will be forthcoming regarding all of these citywide centrally-scheduled
shortened sessions. An early dismissal of students is to be scheduled on the
last day of school, subject to the guidelines outlined in section 13 below.
12.
In non-District 75 high schools
having administered the Regents examinations from June 15 through June 23, high
school students will not be in attendance on Regents Rating Day, Thursday, June
24.
13.
As concerns the early dismissal of
students on the last day of school (Friday, June 25, 2010), the day should be
recorded as a regular day of instruction for purposes of the Period Attendance
Report, and schools must adhere to the following guidelines: students are
required to attend school, pupil attendance must be taken, recorded and
reported as part of the average daily attendance, and students are to receive
instruction and/or guidance and assistance as needed. Schools should provide at
least 4 weeks prior notice to parents and to the Office of Pupil Transportation
regarding the specific time they have set for the early dismissal at their
site.
14.
To avoid the risk of a reduction
in State Aid, and to limit impacts on bus scheduling for students, schools will
not be closed or shortened sessions (defined in section 9 above) will not be
scheduled without prior authorization. Prior to requesting, on a timely basis,
shortened session requests, the following should be considered: in weeks when a
single scheduled shortened session for kindergarten through grade 6 is
requested, the school must still be in session for 25 hours of instruction,
exclusive of lunch and of the extra session of 37.5 minutes for targeted
students. When a shortened session is scheduled during a 4 day week (for
instance, when the week includes a holiday), the school must still be in
session for 20 hours of instruction over that week, exclusive of lunch and of
the extra session of 37.5 minutes for targeted students. Further clarification
and information on exceptions are available upon request.
15.
In a week when, exclusive of lunch
and of the extra session of 37.5 minutes for targeted students, 25 hours of
instruction are scheduled for kindergarten through grade 6 students, or 20
hours in a 4 day week, and an approved shortened session is scheduled, schools
may designate that shortened session as a regular day of instruction for
purposes of the Period Attendance Report. For students in grades 7 and above,
see section 16 below.
16.
As concerns Grades 7 and above,
generally a shortened session results in the school being in session for less
than the required minimum of 27.5 hours of instructional time scheduled in a
week, exclusive of lunch and of the extra session of 37.5 minutes for targeted
students. Therefore, in almost all instances, an approved shortened session for
grades 7 and above should be designated as a non-instructional day for purposes
of the Period Attendance Report. Exceptions pertain to the last day of school
Friday, June 25, 2010, with the requirements of section 13 above being met this
day should be recorded as instructional for purposes of the Period Attendance
Report.
17.
For
Non-District 75 Kindergarten, there
are 182 aidable days (182 instructional days).
18.
For District
75 Kindergarten through Grade 6 Level and All Grades 1 through 6, there are 184 aidable days (182
instructional days).
19.
For Grades 7
and 8 Citywide and Grade 9 in Middle Schools (including District 75), there are 183 aidable days (182
instructional days).
20.
For High
School Level Grades 9 through 12, there
are 184 aidable days in all boroughs (and including
182 in District 75), 180 of which are instructional (in District 75, there are
182 instructional days).
21.
Staff development activities must
meet needs that are mandated or of high priority, including implementation of
the new comprehensive, system-wide instructional approach to literacy and
mathematics under the Children First initiative, school violence prevention and
intervention, the implementation of the Continuum for Students with
Disabilities, performance standards, science education, assessments, etc., as
they relate to general, special and bilingual education. There must be an
appropriate focus on the Regents High Learning Standards and Assessments as
indicated in section 1.
22.
Schools will not be in session on
Labor Day, Yom Kippur, Columbus Day Observed, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and
the day after Thanksgiving, Winter Recess (Thursday, December 24 through and
including Friday, January 1, including Christmas and New Year's Day), Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Mid-Winter Recess (February 15 through February
19, including Washington’s Birthday), Spring Recess (March 29 through and
including April 6, including Good Friday, Easter and Passover), and Memorial
Day. On Tuesday, November 3, 2009 (Election Day), and on Thursday, June 10,
2010 (Anniversary Day), a Chancellor’s Conference Day for staff development is
scheduled in all five boroughs. Students IN ALL FIVE BOROUGHS will NOT be in
attendance on either day. (Under Section 2586 of the Education Law, Anniversary
Day is the first Thursday in June, or the second Thursday in June when the
first Thursday falls within the same week as Memorial Day.)
23.
Consultation on the school year
calendar has taken place with superintendents, parent representatives, the
Nonpublic Schools Committee, and appropriate collective bargaining
representatives.
