The proposed 2009-10 non-traditional calendars were developed with input from each school’s leadership team and/or staff and have met with approval from the district’s transportation department. The Early College at Guilford and Greensboro College Middle College elected to have separate calendars in order to be more closely aligned with the calendars of both of their host colleges. Schools listed below require calendar waivers that must be approved by both the Guilford County Board of Education and the North Carolina State Board of Education. In order to get the waivers on the state board’s May meeting agenda, we must submit the waivers by April 15. The state has extended the deadline for GCS past the original Nov. 1 due date referenced on the attached waiver forms. - Brooks Global Studies
