USD 410 will have full day off before Thanksgiving years ago
Students in USD 410 will enjoy a full vacation day Nov. 21 instead of a partial day off.
During a special board of education meeting Oct. 22, the administrative team asked the board to consider the change after all of the schools within the district received a "Standard of Excellence," a major achievement for students, teachers, and the district.
Discussions at the meeting indicated that administrators wanted to recognize the efforts of students and faculty. After much discussion, the board decided to allow the additional full day of vacation for students and the entire staff of USD 410.
"The purpose of the calendar change is not to give students another day off from school but to draw attention to the significance of this achievement and highlight to the community the academic strength of our school district," USD 410 Superintendent Doug Huxman said.
