If RISD is going to schedule student holidays (Staff Development), like the one on Monday, September 26 in the future, could the student holiday be scheduled during the State Fair time?
Each year, the district must balance a myriad of factors and requests when determining the school calendar. In this instance, the staff development day was chosen specifically to coincide with the end of the first six-weeks grading period. This is especially important because it is the time campuses use to assess individual student capabilities and performance over the first six weeks which helps determine educational planning for each student the rest of the school year. While consideration was given to scheduling the staff development day as part of State Fair Day weekend in October, from an academic standpoint, the timing would not have been in the best interests of many students.
