Next year, Ridgewood family vacations on the school calendar might be different, if the district decides to end the school year earlier in June.
Results from a November poll about options to shorten the school year have been tallied, and school officials will be reviewing parental and teacher feedback, said Superintendent Daniel Fishbein.
Options under discussion include having a March break and doing away with the February and April breaks, or keeping the April break and shortening the February break. The poll also asked parents and teachers if they would prefer to leave the school year as is.
About 39 percent of responding parents were in favor of the March break option, 35 percent were in favor of the shortened February break and 25 percent wanted no change. Educators were also polled and around 45 percent favored either no change or shortening the February break.
