Beyond the Dates: Understanding the School Calendar Process with Victoria Padilla
Have you ever wondered why school starts when it does, or why exactly five "emergency days" are built into every schedule?

Victoria walks us through the complex legal requirements and the "math" behind the Illinois school calendar.We discuss the 176-day attendance mandate, how the ROE ensures districts meet state standards, and the difference between instructional and non-instructional time.
