Extending Summer Break
Johns county school district is considering extending summer break this year, pushing back schools start date by 6 days. As of right now return to schools is set to be August 10th, but Superintendent Tim Forson is debating making that date August 16th. Forson said this date change would give more time to complete construction projects and give teachers a little breather. This date changing to August 16th would also change the end of the school year from June 9th to June 2nd. Forson says he hopes to announce his decision soon so that everyone affected has time to plan accordingly.
