Johnny Giles
Chief of Staff
April 4, 2016

2. Huntsville City Schools Coordinated With Madison County and Madison City Developing the Proposed Calendar
Key Considerations:
180 Student Days
Coordinate with Other Districts on Start/End Dates/Breaks to the extent possible
Fall Break
Thanksgiving Break
Full Christmas Break
Spring Break
75 percent of HCS teachers (~600 responses) preferred a later Spring Break
Spring Break will match Madison County, but not Madison City Schools
End by Memorial Day (VBC reserved through 2020)
HCS will have three built in “snow days” in 2018
