E-mail comments to news@dsdmail.net. Comments will be taken until Friday, Oct. 26.
The Board of Education will consider comments when it meets Wednesday, Nov. 7 to consider adoption of the proposed calendar.
By law, the district has to provide students 990 hours of instruction.

Play a part in creating
the "No Hunger Zone"
By Asst. Superintendent John Zurbuchen
“Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others” -Booker T. Washington
A significant element of education is the lesson learned through service to others. It is through such service that a connection is established between the giver and the recipient. That connection provides the spark through which the human experience is enriched.
The Davis Education Foundation was established to provide an avenue to assist in kindling that spark. The Foundation, through the leadership of Ms. Jodi Lunt along with her amazing staff, provides the avenue to connect community, businesses, and individuals to the support of our more than 72,000 students. These partnerships provide for an enhanced experience, socially, economically, and educationally for students, teachers, and schools.
This year, the Davis Education Foundation, along with partnerships with the Bountiful Food Pantry and the Davis Hospital and Medical Center, has focused on making Davis County a “No Hunger Zone.” According to Federal Government data, Davis County has over 16,000 students who are potentially food insecure.
Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. John Dewey
