A second reading of the calendar was presented to and approved by the Williamsburg Independent Board of Education during their regular monthly meeting last week. As noted during the calendar\u2019s first reading at the board\u2019s February meeting, many of the dates remain the same from the current year\u2019s calendar. According to Superintendent Tim Melton, the biggest change is in regards to fall break. \u201cOne of the parts that we value is our start time, and we also value the time in the spring when our seniors go on their trip and the time over Christmas. But there has been a lot of discussion over fall break,\u201d said Melton during the board\u2019s February meeting. Teachers were surveyed about possible changes to fall break, with three possible choices to select: two days in October, two days in November or two days added to Thanksgiving break. Melton said that the majority of teachers selected to have two days added to Thanksgiving break, which will give students that entire week off. Other dates from the 2023-2024 school calendar in which students will be out of school include: Friday, Sept. 8 \u2013 Old Fashioned Trading Days Tuesday, Nov. 7 \u2013 Election Day Monday, Dec. 18 through Monday, Jan. 1 \u2013 Christmas Break Monday, Jan. 15 \u2013 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Monday, April 1 through Friday, April 5 \u2013 Spring Break Tuesday, May 14 \u2013 Election Day The first day for students will be Wednesday, Aug. 30, and the final day is scheduled for Thursday, May 23. Regarding the current year\u2019s calendar, Melton confirmed that students are still on track for this year\u2019s final day of school to be Thursday, May 25. In other board of education business: &#8211; The board approved a school resource officer contract with the Williamsburg Police Department that formally adds a second SRO back on patrol at the school. Melton said that Officer Scott Bunch has been working at the school as an SRO since sometime after students returned to classes in January, but a contract had yet to be approved between the two entities. There was a small gap in which only one SRO was on patrol after one of the former SROs took a job elsewhere."}
