Board adjusts 24-25 academic calendar to address legislative mandates
The 2024-25 school year in District 191 will include two early release days to accommodate professional development required by new state laws.
On March 28 and May 2, students will be dismissed from school 2.5 hours earlier than normal. The change will provide time for teachers to participate in training related to the state’s READ Act, which establishes new science-of-reading literacy instruction, curriculum and related professional development.
In addition, students will return from spring break on Monday, April 7, a change that brings the total number of school days to the typical 170. Adjustments to the calendar were approved by the Board of Education on Aug. 8.
