School to Start Before Labor
Day
District-Wide Facilities
Improvements Prompt Early Start
District-wide facility improvements will be
made in our schools, prompting special permission by the Minnesota Department
of Education to allow Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools to begin school before
Labor Day this fall.
For a school district to start before Labor
Day, construction project costs must total more than $400,000 according to
state statute. Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools’ facility projects will exceed
that amount. Some of the facility projects include deferred maintenance and
health and safety items such as HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning) and roof replacements.
School
will start for the 2013-14 school year on August 26, 2013 and end on May 29,
2014. Ending next school year earlier will allow the district to maximize the
number of days needed to complete the construction projects prior to the
arrival of students in Fall, 2014. Our schools will begin the 2014-2015 school
year after Labor Day. The formal 2014-2015 School Calendar will be forthcoming
in the next several months.
The school board approved the revised 2013-14 school calendar at
their meeting on Monday night, January 28, 2013. You may click the following link for access to the 2013-14 calendar.
