Cobb County Offers Options for School Calendar – What’s Your Opinion?

By RobertKohl | October 22, 2009

With many Monte Hewett communities, past and present, in Cobb county, we wanted to pass along information about proposed changes to the school calendar. Cobb County has posted 4 options for the school calendar for the next 3 school years. If you are a Cobb County school parent and you would like to voice your opinion, you need to contact your District Board member directly. You will find a list of the Board members and the schools they represent here.

Below are four options for the District’s school calendar. Each link opens a PDF file of a calendar for the 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years.

Current Calendar - Most closely resembles the 2009-2010 school year calendar; First day of school is second week of August; last day of school one week before Memorial Day.
Mid-August Start Date Calendar - First day of school begins one week later in August; three-day Thanksgiving; Winter Break shortened three days; last day of school one week before Memorial Day in 2010-2011 & 2011-2012.
Current Calendar Plus February Vacation – Resembles current calendar but adds week off in February; last day of school is Friday before Memorial Day.
Balanced Calendar – First day of school is first week of August; one-week vacation breaks at mid-term in September and February; last day of school is Friday before Memorial Day.
