The Board of Trustees approved the following changes to the 2021-2022 school year calendar:
• Change October 11, 2021 from professional development to a regular student day.
• Conduct a full day of school on December 16, 2021 rather than an early release.
These revisions were made in order to address the fact that RJ Richey was closed on September 3 and all BCISD campuses were closed September 7-8. Although the existing BCISD calendar included enough banked minutes to absorb the two district-wide missed days and the additional campus day, the Administration recommended a calendar revision to prevent lost instructional minutes so early in the year. Additional COVID complications and/or weather events are possibilities, so the Administration recommended the changes to preserve banked minutes for possible future needs.
