Compo will have to wait another day as April vacation is pushed back.

Though recent rumors have swirled that the Board of Education would not open schools for the Monday of April vacation, at tonight’s meeting, Superintendent Elliott Landon said that Monday, April 14 will be a school day.

“Unfortunately, we had to use more than five days, which means we will have school on Monday,” Landon said.

BOE member Brett Aronow posed a question about the shortened break. “I am concerned about families that might have already made plans,” she said. “Is there any way the students can make up the work?”

Speaking from a parent’s perspective and mentioning letters from other parents, Aronow specifically pointed out that high school students might use April break to visit colleges. Landon said he would discuss the matter with high school administrators.

About the Contributors
Eliza Llewellyn, Web Managing Editor
Eliza Llewellyn ’14 is driven and well-rounded. Now that it’s her third year on Inklings, she’s ready to take the lead. As web managing editor, Eliza is excited to advance the Inklings website with innovations in media and graphics. It’s not going to be easy, and fortunately her experience as co-captain of the Staples JV tennis team has taught her the valuable leadership skills necessary for the job. Not only this, but her position on the yearbook committee and her commitment to playing piano constantly puts her time management skills to the test. While her job on Inklings may also be extremely time-consuming, she puts it above all else. “If I’m doing homework at 10:30 p.m. and a new e-mail pops up with an article, I stop what I’m doing to read it,” said Eliza. “It’s one of my first priorities.” When Eliza isn’t editing articles, she’s writing them. Last year she wrote a news story, "Legacies: Investigating a College Application Controversy," which she considers one of her best works. “It felt good to talk to guidance counselors and college admissions officers because I was finding information that people would not get otherwise,” said Eliza. This year she hopes to pursue writing in-depth and research-based articles, as well as find a good balance among all her extracurriculars. With her dedication and drive, there’s no doubt Eliza will go above and beyond.
