School System Posts New Calendar on Website

The website for the Barrow County School System has been updated with a link to a 160-day calendar.

While no official communication appears to have come from Barrow County School System on calendar, a link on the website takes users to a 160-day schedule. 

The calendar change, reducing the number of days students attend school from 180 to 160, is part of a tentative budget for FY2013 that anticipates almost $94 million in expenditures but slightly less than $85 million in revenues. 

The change to the calendar appears to be one of several cost-cutting measures to be undertaken by the school system.
