LISD Committee drafts 2008-09 Calendar

The LISD Calendar Committee recently drafted a 2008-09 school calendar based upon community input and the academic needs of students. From Oct. 5 - 14, the district solicited input from the community regarding Thanksgiving Break and the length of the school year. More than 60 percent of the responses did not want the school year to end during the second week of June. For more information and to view the proposed 2008-09 LISD calendar, click here.
