Planning is underway for the 2022-2023 school calendar. Greenbrier County parents, students, staff, and community members recently provided input through a brief online school calendar survey available at greenbriercountyschools.org. Greenbrier County Schools will host two public calendar forums to further engage stakeholders in the planning process. The first forum is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 8, at 5:30 p.m. at the Kyle & Ann Fort Arts & Sciences Building located on the Lewisburg Campus of New River Community & Technical College. The second forum will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 15, at 5:30 p.m.
“Feedback from parents, students, staff, and community members is needed and welcomed as we make decisions about school start dates, scheduled breaks, and make-up days. We invite the input and encourage interested stakeholders to complete the school calendar survey and participate in our public calendar forums,” states Superintendent Jeff Bryant.
“The survey, sample calendars, forum dates, and WVDE school calendar planning guidelines are also available on our homepage,” continued Byrant.
Under the West Virginia State Code §18-5-45 and State Board of Education Policy 3234, each county board must prepare a school calendar for the upcoming year and submit it to the State Superintendent of Schools for approval. Calendars must meet guidelines and requirements outlined in the state code and state board policy. Current school calendar requirements, guidelines, and sample calendars are available for review on the WV Department of Education website.
The 2022-2023 school calendar will be presented for approval at the regular meeting of the board of education in March.
