Decatur City Schools to have full week off for fall break, earlier start date next year

");
Decatur City Schools' calendar for the 2021-22 school year includes an earlier than normal Aug. 5 start date to minimize academic backsliding and the district's first weeklong fall break.
Superintendent Michael Douglas said at Tuesday's board meeting where the calendar was approved that the earlier start date will create a shorter summer break to prevent “summer slide,” or loss of academic progress over the summer.
“The rationale for starting earlier was due to the COVID pandemic. We wanted a little bit shorter summer so we could get kids back in school,” Douglas said.
The district is still anticipating a high number of students enrolling in summer school this year, he said.
