District-Wide Facilities
Improvements Prompt Early Start
District-wide
facility improvements will be made in our schools, prompting special permission by the
Minnesota Department of Education to allow Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools to
begin school before Labor Day this fall.
For a school
district to start before Labor Day, construction project costs must total more
than $400,000 according to state statute. Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools’
facility projects will exceed that amount. Some of the facility projects
include deferred maintenance and health and safety items such as HVAC (heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning) and roof replacements.
School will
start for the 2013-14 school year on August 26, 2013 and end on May 29, 2014.
Ending next school year earlier will allow the district to maximize the number
of days needed to complete the construction projects prior to the arrival of
students in Fall, 2014. Our schools will begin the 2014-2015 school year after
Labor Day. The formal 2014-2015 School Calendar will be forthcoming in the next
several months.
