The New York City Department of Education released its academic calendar for the 2021-2022 school year today.
Two practices from the 2020-2021 school year will remain in effect.
Severe weather closures will not cancel learning, and instead students will shift to remote instruction.
Election Day, being held on Nov. 2, 2021, will be a remote, asynchronous instructional day for all students and a professional development day for teachers. The decision is pending to change if additional guidance is given from the New York State Education Department.
Two new changes are also being made in observed holidays for the upcoming school year.
The non-attendance day on Oct. 11 will be in observance of Indigenous People's Day and the non-attendance day of June 20, 2022 will be in observance of Juneteenth.
The goal is for all children to safely return to full-time in-person learning on Sept. 13.
I posted a link to the calendar under "Reference Topics."
Yeah, cancelling us Italians. And Juneteenth. DOE is so woke.
So now I hear they're going to call it "Italian Heritage" Day.
Well, that's something anyway.

I'm sure the "woke" movement would be offended by that too....
