A recent survey by the Culver Community Schools Corporation shows continuing support for the balanced calendar concept. “There were 190 responses about whether we should continue with the balanced calendar or go back to a traditional calendar,” Superintendent Karen Shuman says, “and the majority are supporting the balanced calendar.”
Culver has been on a balanced calendar since 2015. That means the school year typically runs from early August to late May, with two weeks off for spring and Christmas breaks, plus a one-week fall break.
