.@HoustonISD has a link on their website asking for feedback on a proposed calendar for this year.
It moves the start date forward & the end of school to mid-June, w/ "possible intersession" periods, & would be a "year-round" designation under the District of Innovation program.

Some quick thoughts: For a longer school year, will teachers get paid more? (They call this an 11-month calendar, but teachers in HISD are on 10-month contracts)

I actually think this sort of calendar has its merits, in terms of students retaining knowledge over the summer and limiting the amount of time that parents have to find daytime childcare for their kids, but where was the public discussion of this option?

How will HISD make the decision whether or not to have school during the "possible intersessions" & do they have a plan to communicate that process & the decision in a timely manner to staff & parents? Does HISD have a plan for dealing with COVID-19 and possible related closures?

Bottom line: I think the calendar itself is acceptable, but I have serious concerns about the implementation plan and lack of transparency. HISD seeking DOI status has a lot of implications, and has potential for misuse to exploit teachers.

For background, I did teach in HISD for three years and my daughter currently attends the neighborhood school.

This would suck for a lot of parenting plans where exes do not live in close proximity.
