The Westport Board of Education tonight considers adoption of the 2005-06 school calendar which provides for a post-Labor Day start and no holiday on Columbus Day.
Under the proposed calendar, school would begin on Tuesday, Sept. 6, the day after Labor Day. This year, school began on Wednesday, Sept. 1, five days before the Labor Day holiday.
Unlike the current year, the proposed calendar does not include a Columbus Day holiday. The holiday recess will be Dec. 24-Jan. 2, the winter recess Feb. 20-24, and the spring recess April 17-21. The last day of school is Friday, June 23.
