After receiving pushback on their previous changes, members of the Hamilton County school board updated the district’s 2024-25 calendar to include two full days for teacher planning rather than four half-days.
In February, the school board amended the calendar to raise the number of half-days from three to seven in order to give teachers more planning time. With the update approved Thursday, two full planning days replace the four extra half-days.
The school board voted 10-1 for the amended calendar. School board member Rhonda Thurman, R-Hixson, voted no.
The first semester, with 89 days, will run from Aug. 7 to Dec. 20. The second semester, with 91 days, will run from Jan. 8 to May 22. The two added teacher planning days are Wednesdays — Sept.
