Cancel Saturday August 5 as a work day to give teachers (especially new ones) a full weekend. https://padlet.com/juliarsnider/epkfsg6i3qaxeew7/wish/2440471260 2023-01-11 07:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/juliarsnider/epkfsg6i3qaxeew7/wish/2440471260 we generally recommend draft 1, we like that semester 1 ends in Dec and the school year ends earlier. We have some hesitation around the Saturday PD day and general lack of PD included, especially in semester 1 https://padlet.com/juliarsnider/epkfsg6i3qaxeew7/wish/2440474494 2023-01-11 07:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/juliarsnider/epkfsg6i3qaxeew7/wish/2440474494
