The Clark County Board of Education voted Tuesday night to approve a proposed calendar for the 2018-19 school year.

Board members and CCPS staff developed three calendar options in October, and those options were posted online for a week for parents and teachers to vote for the option they preferred.

“Option two of the calendars overwhelmingly was voted on by those who voted,” Director of Pupil Personnel Greg Hollon told the board. “There were 1,199 votes. Of those, 614 were for option two, 317 for option one and 268 were for option three.”

The calendar chosen has 176 instructional days, with Aug. 15, 2018, being the first day for students returning to school. The calendar also sets aside a full week for fall break in October, and begins a full week of spring break in April. To accommodate the full week of fall break, students’ winter break has been shortened to a week and a half. The last day for students will be May 24, 2019, with potential make up days leading into the first week of June if necessary.

The calendar option was approved 4 to 0, with board chair Michael Kuduk absent after leaving the meeting part way through.
