Would the district consider giving finals prior to the conclusion of the semester (before winter break)?
Due to the state-mandated later start date of August 27, the district needs all of those teaching days to address the curriculum based on planned scope and sequence. In an effort to create the best academic calendar possible, finals had to be moved to January. Not doing so would have created too substantial an imbalance between the number of days in each semester. To accommodate the new schedule, several review days were built into January after break to help students prepare for finals.
