The Student Well-Being AIG is introducing the Flex Days Initiative, a policy proposal seeking to integrate designated no-new-work days into school calendars around midterms. This session will introduce incoming trustees to our efforts and provide outgoing trustees the opportunity to present their work from the past year. Through a real-time decision-making challenge, participants will also take on roles as students, teachers, and policymakers to navigate common school-wide challenges and determine how Flex Days can be effectively implemented. The session will share the benefits of built-in academic breaks, and provide strategies for advocating for them at the school board level!
