Zywine said that a joint Halton public and separate school review of the calendar year will be done for next year and the 1994/95 school year. The boards will examine adding the PD day which has in recent years "There seems to be a lot of parent irritation about the PD day on the day after Labor Day," said Lane, who suggested it be held before Labor Day. Lane made it clear that some PD days, in particular the one scheduled the first day of school (following Labor Day) upsets many parents. "If you expect students to learn in new ways, professional development days are one of the ways we can update teachers to meet student needs," said instructional services superintendent Joanne Zywine. Oakville Ward 6 trustee Linda Lane questioned the scheduling of professional development days last week when the 1993/94 public school year calendar came up for approval at the Halton Board of Education.

"For the past nine years the Halton board has approved a calenâ€" dar with nine professional activity days," reported Zywine. In her report, the superintendent said the proposed calendar was Under the Education Act, there must be a minimum of 185 instrucâ€" tional days and up to nine professionâ€" al development days in each school year. The Halton board‘s collective agreement with its teachers calls for the same. "I‘ve received parent complaints about the number of times teachers are absent. I think it‘s a lot," said Lane, noting the absences are a disâ€" ruption to the educational consistenâ€" cy in the classroom. Zywine estimated that such absences are likely to be considerably less this coming year given the cuts made to date in the 1993 board budâ€" get. Zywine affirmed that not all development needs can be met at the same time. Lane also questioned the amount of teacher absenteeism and subseâ€" quent need for supply teachers due to professional development activities. followed Labor Day to the March Nine days off seen 467 SPEERS ROAD OAKVILLE Telephone 845â€"9742 or 845â€"3824 Regarding any delivery problems * Robert‘s Fish Cove * * Partial Delivery "The review would consider the grouping of PD days, restructuring blocks of instructional days, early entry and scheduling of breaks," said Zywine.
