2009-2010 SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR
March 11, 2009
The School Year Calendar mandates that school sessions begin for all students on Tuesday, September 8, 2009 and includes a Midwinter Recess (Monday, February 15 through Friday, February 19, 2010). It reflects that on Tuesday, November 3, 2009, and Thursday, June 10, 2010, students in all five boroughs will NOT be in attendance, but schools in all five boroughs will be scheduled for a Chancellor’s Conference Day for staff development. The calendar must be adhered to without exception, unless notifications of subsequent changes are received pursuant to collective bargaining agreements or for other reasons, provided these other reasons are not inconsistent with collective bargaining or legal obligations.
