Jan. 26—Greenville ISD's calendar for the next two school years was approved by the GISD Board of Trustees last week.

The calendar was developed by a committee made up of teachers, parents, administrators and other campus/district representatives, who put together two versions of the calendar, which were then considered by students, families and staff through a survey. All in all, 1,380 people participated in the survey.

"The team put forth incredible effort and dedication to create calendar options that met federal, state and local requirements as well as students' needs," committee chair Rebekah Russler said.
