Spanish Question Holiday Question Should the School Accountability Committee recommend to Mr. Raisch a reduction of $35,000 in another area of the school budget to increase the allocation to Spanish enabling more time for Spanish instruction? YES = 36% NO = 53% Other = 11% Should we alter the Swigert Calendar to have school on September 14th & November 12 in exchange of not having school on November 19th & 20th.
