The agreement comes after surveys in previous year showed an overwhelming majority of parents and teachers favoured the two-week break over the one-year break in place locally. At issue was how to add legislated instruction hours to the school year that would be lost to an extra week of spring break. The district did have a three-year window — between 2015 and 2017 — in which there was a two-week spring break. The district returned to a one-week break in 2018. At the time, the district said merging Easter and the break was one of the options on which staff and teachers could not agree.
