The College Station school district’s 2019-2020 school year calendar was unanimously approved at Tuesday night’s school board meeting.
Board members and administrators acknowledged a burden for working parents having to provide child care.
That was noted in the vote of elementary school parents, where 835 (or 51.9%) favored the option that was adopted, compared to 775 (or 48.1%) who voted for the other option.
The adopted calendar was supported by 55.5% percent of parents of CSISD intermediate students, 59.1% of the parents of middle school students, and 58.1% of the parents of high school students.
CSISD teachers overwhelmingly supported the adopted calendar, by a margin of 471 to 86 (or 84.6% to 15.4%).
So did other CSISD employees, by a margin of 233 to 49 (or 82.6% to 17.4%)
About one percent of CSISD students also participated in the online survey. The adopted calendar was supported by a margin of 100 to 34 (or 74.6% to 25.4%)
65 of the 109 community members, who have no children in CSISD schools, favored the adopted calendar.
