2014-2015 Calendar Options

LISD has provided three options for school calendars for the 2014-2015 school year and a short comparison of the three.

Please note that option 3 was added this year as a one-time plan to start school after Labor Day. We would still finish by the first week of June. The benefit of this option would be to allow additional time to complete the primary, elementary, and middle school building projects as well as to get more accomplished at the high school.

If you have questions, comments or input about the calendars listed below, please email LISD at calendarcomments@lorenaisd.net
