BSD - Pioneer Update

Superintendent Dr. Michael Hester talks about BSD's alternative calendar


Listen Later

The Batesville School District used an alternative calendar for the 2022-23 school year.

Alternative Calendar: based on hours, not days

  • The typical calendar consists of 187 days or ~10,066 hours

  • Built-In collaboration time = 21 days given to staff

    • Work Days: prep for the start of school, curriculum, etc.

    • Collaboration Days: time for teachers to work together (students are sent home)

  • There are no AMI days--time is made up the time at the end of the year

  • We plan to survey our parents and stakeholders on our calendar during January
