Teachers’ Association Ratifies Calendar

The Santa Barbara Teachers Association ratified the Santa Barbara School Districts’ 2008-09 school calendar. Though it awaits approval from the Board of Education, the calendar has school starting one week before Labor Day, a standard two-week winter break, a one-week spring break, and summer break beginning in early June. If approved, all of the districts’ secondary and elementary schools-save the two year-round facilities-would also follow this schedule.
