Educationally Speaking
April 2012

On Monday, April 16, 2012, the Fallbrook Union High School District Board of Trustees discussed proposed instructional calendars for the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years that, if approved, would result in the fall semester beginning earlier in August in order to be completed by winter break. The spring semester would begin in early January and be completed by early June.
The following rationale for the instructional calendar changes was discussed:

* More time to learn content before AP and CAHSEE exams, increasing students’ chances for success
* Increased separation between STAR & AP exams placing importance on assessment performance
* Calendar more aligned to college/community college providing the ability for students to enroll in college/community college summer school courses and helps support a college-going culture
* Calendar more aligned to college/community college providing the ability for mid-year graduates to enroll in college/community college courses in second semester
* Allows for timely submission of 1st semester grades to colleges for admissions decisions
* Earlier school year end date enables students to better compete for summer jobs
* Places first semester final exams in proximity (time wise) to the classroom instruction/learning
* Eliminates the need for review time immediately after winter break in preparation for upcoming final exams
* Finals before winter break provides students with the opportunity for a true break

A review of calendars from neighboring districts shows that Escondido Union High, San Marcos Unified, Temecula Valley Unified, and Vista Unified School Districts all have finals prior to winter break and Oceanside Unified School District is planning to move to this model in the 2013-2014 school year.

The Board of Trustees will continue its discussion regarding the instructional calendar on Monday, May 14, 2012. The Board of Trustees is expected to take action on this agenda item on Monday, June 11, 2012.

Parents and community members are encouraged to attend these board meetings in order to express their thoughts and insights regarding the proposed changes. For more information, please contact Mr. Jim Yahr, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, at 760-723-6332 x6494, or Dale Mitchell, Superintendent, at 760-723-6332 x6497.
