No, there is no plan to go to year-round school. What has been proposed is a balanced calendar that allows for 8 weeks of summer break with 2 weeks between quarters - 2 weeks for Fall Break, 2 weeks for Winter Break and 2 weeks for Spring Break. The year would begin the beginning of August and conclude at the end of May.
If the balanced calendar is recommended to the School Board and the Board approves it over the traditional calendar, local summer activities would still have 8 weeks. A number of area school districts - Avon, Danville, Plainfield - are contemplating the balanced calendar, and Wayne Township has approved it for 2012-2013.
BCSC encourages parents and community members to voice their preferences on the web survey at www.brownsburg.k12.in.us and/or to attend information meetings with Dr. Snapp on 9/19, 9/20 or 9/21.
