Horizon School Division students will have five additional days off next school year and 10 minutes will be added to school days.
The days off will take place on October 1, 2021, December 10, 2021, February 11, 2022, April 1, 2022 and May 6, 2022 and are being called personal professional days.
“There was overwhelming support in favour of going this direction,” Horizon School Division Director of Education Kevin Garinger said. “Family time is so crucial for our children. Providing that is beneficial. It’s going to mean less time on buses for about 2,700 of our children. That is over 40 per cent of our kids. It’s an opportunity for families to have more time for appointments to be booked on those days.
