Fr Co BOE Adopts Citizens’ Choice for 2022-2023 School Calendar

The people have spoken and earlier this week the Franklin County Board of Education unanimously approved the new calendar for the 2022-2023 school year.

Earlier this month the Franklin County Schools Charter System asked students, parents/guardians, and the community to provide input on the school calendar for next year.

On their Facebook page, the Franklin County School system had posted a link to a survey asking respondents to select which calendar they prefer.

Superintendent Chris Forrer said a diverse group of stakeholders puts together both calendars for the public to review.

He said the calendars are similar but the difference between the two is mainly regarding how winter breaks are scheduled.

At their meeting Tuesday, the Board approved the choice recommended by survey respondents, which was Calendar 1.

The new calendar chosen by citizens gives teachers an extra planning day in July, has the new school year beginning August 5, Christmas break will run from December 21 – January 3, and keep the February winter break to two days.

The last day of class for students will be May 24, 2023, and graduation will be May 26, 2023.
