New Hampton may start next school year with ‘short days’
The way the calendar falls and a state law that doesn’t allow school years to start before Aug. 23 has led to some creative ideas for the 2020-21 school calendar in New Hampton.
Superintendent Jay Jurrens shared some ideas with School Board members last week, and one of the ideas is to start the school year with a couple of “early outs.”
That’s because, by law, the 2020-21 school year can’t start until Monday, Aug. 24, which would mean that New Hampton would have a full week of classes.
