An earlier start to the school year with more breaks. Dist. #205 approves calendar in hopes of improving attendance

The District 205 School Board approved a new calendar for the 2023/24 school year this week. Board members considered two different calendars with only two glaring differences. One starts the year on Aug. 10 and includes a weeklong fall break. The other starts the year on Aug. 16 and does not include the fall break. Superintendent Dr. John Asplund said that he was recommending the earlier start to the school year to combat learning loss better and to experiment and see if giving a fall break would help fight truancy. "We feel like this fall break may increase attendance if people have shorter times where they have to get to a break and they'll come to school more and we'll have better attendance," Dr. Asplund told the board on Monday. "We feel like it's worth a year-shot and if it doesn't go well then we say, 'okay, we tried that and it didn't work.'

District 205 to consider more solar arrays for King and Silas Willard elementary schools

The District 205 Board of Education held off this week on adding more solar arrays to King and Silas elementary schools. The district had approved solar arrays for different schools in the district in recent years and has seen significant savings already. Superintendent Dr. John Asplund said that conservatively speaking, the district has saved $172,421.89. These savings are seen with increased energy usage at the Galesburg Junior Senior High School building with the addition of air conditioning. Asplund presented the proposal to add an array to the ground behind King Elementary and to the rooftops of Silas Willard on Monday night. "Where we were getting 2.6 cents per kilowatt-hour, now it's at 5.5," Dr. Asplund told the board on Monday. "Other people are signing these at 7 [cents] because the cost of electricity – everything is going up. Inflation has made everything crazy."
