The current two year adoption will run out at the end of the 1986-87 school year. Whenever possible it is better to adopt a multi-year calendar, thus corresponding dates are used from school year to school year. However, uncertainties due to actions from the State Legislature sometimes make the multi-year calendar impractical. Below you will find three proposals for the 1987-88 school calendar, if a multi-year calendar is adopted future years would correspond to the calendar shown. Please review these proposals and indicate your preference by returning the coupon provided to: Superintendent's Office John Glenn School Corporation 506 Roosevelt Road Walkerton, IN 46574
