School District 58 is adding one more non-instructional day to its 2016-17 school calendar and will continue to have a two week spring break, starting the third Monday in March.

This day is being added by the provincial government to address the new curriculum that is being put in place next fall, SD 58 Superintendent Steve McNiven said.

The added day off means SD58 will move from seven to eight days sans class time.

Those days include one after classes have ended which is devoted to administrative work.

The 2016-17 calendar draft must be finalized by March 31.
