School Board Adopts New

2010-11 Calendar

After several months of reviewing different options and receiving community input, the Fulton County Board of Education approved a 177-day calendar for the 2010-11 school year. The school year will begin on August 23, 2010 and end May 27, 2011.

The calendar format is a change from previous years when state law mandated that students must attend school for 180 days. New guidelines allow school systems to deviate from the 180-day calendar, provided there is no reduction in instructional time.  

Added Julia Bernath, school board vice president: “It's important for us to remember that it is not how many days a child spends in the classroom, it's how that time is used.”
