REVISED SCHOOL CALENDAR APPROVED
The Jackson County Board of Education approved a revised calendar for the 2020-2021 school year at its meeting on July 23, 2020. This calendar revision was necessary due to the Governor’s order that schools would not re-open until at least September 8, 2020. In order to comply with the new target date set by the Governor, teachers and other 200 days contract employees will return to work on Monday, August 24, 2020, to complete training and preparations for the return of students. The opening day for students is scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, 2020. The calendar will now be submitted to the West Virginia Department of Education for final approval. Jackson County Schools is developing a Return to School Plan, which is available for review on the county website at https://www.boe.jack.k12.wv.us
