Also in line with this year\u2019s calendar, students and staff will be off for the entire week of Thanksgiving. They will get a two-week winter recess and a week off for spring break in late March.<\/p>\n<p>The school board will review the calendars at a meeting this week and is expected to approve them at its regular meeting Jan. 29.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Chicago Teachers Union\u2019s most recent contract approved last week increased the number of teacher-led professional development days from three to six and decreased those directed by principals from nine to six.<\/p>\n<p>Under the proposed calendar, the pre-K school year will once again start a day after the year for older students and will end a day earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Mila Koumpilova is Chalkbeat Chicago\u2019s senior reporter covering Chicago Public Schools.
