Walton County, Fla:
Some businesses in Walton County might be shorthanded this summer. The Walton District School Board voted last night to send children to school earlier.
D?j? Vu is one of the many shops in seaside that rely on student workers, particularly during the busy summer months ??we have girls that come from lots of different places that work during the summertime. and we also have girls that come and work during the fall that are in high school.?
Christina Hill is the manager of D?j? Vu in both Seaside and Pier Park. She says that employee schedules are difficult to coordinate.
And with the decision made Tuesday night by the school board, businesses like D?j? Vu might have to do some rearranging ??I think it will definitely affect the girls that work during the summer. You know we need as many girls as possible in the summer. It gets kind of crazy and busy and we need all the help we can get and young high schoolers are great in the store?so them not being able to work as many hours will affect??
The Walton District School Board has decided to shift the school calendar so school will start and end sooner. The first day will be August 12th. Like last year, Thanksgiving holidays will be 3 days. School will finish up on May 26th. The big change this year is that summer vacation will be about 3 weeks shorter.
Superintendent Carlene Anderson says ??what that means is that we can get more time in before we break for Christmas holidays and that?s important to us because finishing our first semester before Christmas is important for our students.?
Superintendent Anderson says the decision to change the calendar came from the calendar committee, and that it?s in the best interest of students? education ??as educators that are on that committee as well as support staff?it?s important to them as well as to me that we provide our calendar first?what?s academically best for students and second what?s best for parents.?
Superintendent Anderson promises that while this year?s summer vacation might be shorter, next year?s vacation will be longer ??it?ll all average out. They?re not going to be real happy ...as will some of our employees because it?s not going to be easy to come back and not have a full break, but it?ll be ok??
Christmas vacation will be the same length with the change.
