LOUISVILLE, Ky. Kids may see an extra few days inside classrooms next year to help accelerate learning after a year of nontraditional instruction.
Jefferson County Public Schools calendar committee discussed adding four instructional days to the 2021-22 school year in a meeting Tuesday.
Extra time in school is one way Kentucky s largest district hopes to catch students up post-pandemic, Superintendent Marty Pollio previously said.
The committee weighed a few options, including adding all four days to the end of the year and sprinkling them throughout the year. Committee members expect to meet early next week to finalize their recommendation.
Any changes the committee recommends will need to be approved by the district s school board, which previously approved a 2021-22 calendar that starts Aug. 11 and ends May 26.
