Elba planning to start school year early
Elba Central School board members last night listened to concerned citizens about a change in the school calendar this year, according to Superintendent Joan Cole, but will still proceed with its plan to start the school year a week prior to Labor Day weekend.
"The purpose of starting the school year before Labor day is to give more instruction time, more time for learning," Cole said. "Elba is a good school and we need to become a great school, and how we move from a good school to a great school is to focus on our mission statement."
