School districts operating a four-day school week (less than 160 scheduled days per school year) are required to submit a request for approval.
To be considered for the 2022-23 School Year, please complete the application via the Directory in Data Pipeline by Wednesday, May 11. Districts requesting approval are not obligated to follow their proposed calendar if their local planning is not finalized.
In addition to submitting the four-day application through Data Pipeline, districts accredited with Priority Improvement Plan or with Turnaround Plan that are submitting a district-wide application must submit the following additional information separately to Jhon Penn:
- A copy of their respective school calendars
- Building class schedules, assembly schedules
- Bell schedule including lunchtime interval and professional development calendar.
CDE will review the additional materials for the use and prioritization of instructional time. The executive director of Field Services and the associate commissioner of School Quality and Support must recommend approval of the application before it is forwarded to the commissioner for consideration.
Visit the Directory in Data Pipeline for additional information.
