What is a teacher planning day?

A teacher planning day is a regular weekday with no students in school while teachers plan, grade and train. On the district calendar, some planning days are marked “available to opt,” which means staff may choose to work a different day instead. Students are off either way.

Jan 15 comes the day after the first semester ends (Thu, Jan 14). It’s also Dr. King’s actual birthday, and with MLK Day on Monday it makes a 4-day weekend.
