SAD 48 weighs calendar change to save energy
Bangor Daily News, February 2, 2008
(excerpt) Although many in the district think the current school calendar is a done deal, that is not true, SAD 48 Superintendent William Braun said Friday.
The changes, if approved, could have students beginning the school year five days earlier, some weeklong vacations could be shifted to long weekends, and the Christmas break could extend nearly a month into mid-January. Classes would end as usual in mid-June.
Braun said the savings in fuel oil alone could be between $50,000 and $75,000.
"At this point the idea is just food for thought," he said. "It hasn’t even been heard by a committee yet," he said.
