An August 1 school opening might not be repeated
The chair of Oconee school trustees, Denise McCormick of Westminster, acknowledges that today, August 1, is an early date to start a new year of public education. But that’s the reality. McCormick says the academic calendar for 2024-’25 is arranged in a way that gives teachers and students additional days off during the year. And that, she believes, will give all a needed mental re-charge.
