There will be faculty meetings here and there but the teachers have a day to catch up on records, edit lessons and prepare for the next few weeks before Veterans Day and on to Thanksgiving break.

I know alot of drivers that sure could use a restful day after the year they have been working. It's just wrong. Unless your paying Double time! Then fill me in.....ty There are 10 months in a school year. Why make a professional develop day on a National Holiday. Pick a day any day. But Columbus day.
