SB NG ea aR ts + tee District administration and teachers in School District 88 had to’ read between the lines of the provincial requirements to come up with the school calendar for the 1991-92 year. The board adopted the calendar June 11 after a presentation from district director of instruction Harold Cox. He explained that the committee assigned to set the calendar had been caught between the requirements of the School Act and the commitments in the dis- trict’s collective agreement with the Terrace District Teachers’ Association: the School Act calls for 190 days of instruction and the collective agreement calls for five district-wide non-instructional days. Cox said the only calendar that would meet those requirements had to combine Easter with the annual spring break and would have put this district out of "synch" with the rest of the province. By counting some days as both days-in-session under the School Act and half-day School calendar creative for ’91-'92 non-instructional days under the contract, the committee managed to come up with a scheme that will give Terrace the same spring break as the rest of B.C. school districts. The 1991-92 schedule is: September 3, Tuesday — School opens. October 14, Monday — Thanksgiving Day. November 11, Monday — Remembrance Day. December 20, Friday — Schools close for Christmas vaca- tion. ° January 6, Monday —- Schools re-open. March 13, Friday — Schools close for spring break. March 23, Monday — Schools re-open. April 17, Friday — Good Fri- day. . April 20, Monday — Easter Monday. May 18, Monday — Victoria Day. June 26, Friday — School ends. Dual entry kids to be given options Children in School District 88 who entered primary school in the January 1991 under the now-defunct Dual Entry program will be given the options of either starting school full-time in September 1991 or attending as half-time students for the 1991-92 school year. The policy was ratified by the board of School District 88 June 11.
