BELTON, Texas The Belton Independent School District Board of Trustees approved changes to the district’s spring calendar on Monday with the intent of supporting teachers and students during this unusual 2020-2021 school year.
The changes include adding three teacher in-service/student holiday days on January 5, March 1 and April 26 to allow for more teacher planning and professional development, according to Belton ISD.
“It’s a different kind of school year,” Deputy Superintendent Malinda Golden said. “We’re asking our teachers to manage students in multiple learning environments - sometimes simultaneously - and they’ve stepped up to the challenge.
