  • depriving students and teachers one more week of rejuvination will only serve to create more discipline problems towards the end of the year.

  • I would like to request that the SCASD spring break be aligned with the Penn State spring break to coincide with the largest employer in Centre County

  • Penn State is the largest employer and the economic engine of Centre County. Eliminating SCASD/PSU spring break alignment just invites unnecessary absesenteeism. Up until now, my kids have not missed a single day of school in three years. I guess that will be changing.

  • I strongly support the retention of a spring break for SCASD students, and aligning the SCASD break with Penn State's break.

  • Thank you for considering this request. It appears that with some minor re-allocation of off-days, spring break could be added to the schedule while maintaining an adequate number (and distribution) of make-up snow days and ending the school year by Friday, June 10th. Also, there are a large number of days off in November and December (at least at the elementary level) before the holiday break -- so much so that it would be difficult for teachers to accomplish much with their students during those months.

  • I would love to see a full 5 day, Monday-Friday spring break aligned with Penn State's reinstated. This was a yearly family vacation time we were able to use to travel to see out of state family at a time of year not nearly as expensive as Thanksgiving or Christmas. The value of 5 days in a row with weekends on either side gives families much more flexibility with traveling. Reinstating spring break as a full week in March, not over a holiday, also gives teachers a time to travel with their families outside of holidays or summer. It will eliminate the lottery system for which teachers will be granted permission to use vacation/personal days over spring break. It will eliminate the above average student absenteesim that is likely to occur that week anyway.

  • Overall, I think we should adopt a calendar more in line with rest of US. Start earlier, don't close for deer season, include spring break, and end year no later than first week of June.

  • I feel that the proposed calendar does not address the needs of the students or parents in the district in a wide variety of ways. It's time this stopped.
