**Schools may attend sessions for the other calendar, with principal’s approval and support; that is, a year-round teacher may attend a session on a traditional workday, or vice versa. Schools are responsible for securing substitute teachers or class coverage. If this option is favorable, it is recommended that one substitute teacher is used to cover one teacher for the morning session and another teacher for the afternoon session.
The complete plan can be viewed on DEPOT and on the CIA web site (cia.dpsnc.net).
