I just received the following update from the Colonial Schools email hotline:
District Announces Calendar Change
The Colonial School District has announced a calendar change for April. Recognizing that voter turnout for the April 22 primary election is anticipated to be heavy and realizing the potential for disruptions in schools where polling takes place, the District is canceling classes for all students that day. April 22 will be a holiday for students and a professional development day for staff.
"We're pleased that the presidential primary is reinvigorating the election process in the country," said Colonial Superintendent Dr. Vincent F. Cotter. "However, with a large voter turnout predicted, we are going to err on the side of caution and eliminate any safety concerns by keeping students at home that day."
Cotter added that the District will cancel the early dismissal scheduled for students on the following Thursday. April 24 will now be a regular school day for both students and teachers.
