54. School Calendar

Minutes: Due to the controversy over the later start date for the 2007-08 school year and its effect on the payroll calendar, it was noted for the record that the State Legislature mandated the school year not begin more than 10 days prior to the Labor Day holiday.  This was not a local decision.
