Faced with mounting concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, the St. Martin School Board last Friday approved a revised school calendar that pushes the start of classes from Aug. 17 to Sept. 8.
Under the new calendar, approved by a 5-3 vote during a specially called meeting, teachers will report for nine days of professional development beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 25 rather than Monday, Aug. 10.
Students, whose first day was previously set for Monday, Aug. 17, will now begin classes on Tuesday, Sept. 8, the day after Labor Day.
