COMMON CALENDAR COMMITTEE                       

        APPROVES  3 YEAR CALENDAR

 

Since 1995, the Greater Jackson Chamber Partnership has served as the coordinator of a metro common calendar effort for all major public, private, and parochial schools, colleges and universities in the metro community.

This effort has allowed representatives from public and private schools, colleges, the State Board for Community and Junior Colleges, and the Institutions of Higher Learning to come together for the benefit of the over 100,000 students, and over 10,000 school employees in the Jackson area to craft a common calendar. The effort has been especially helpful in coordinating Spring Break each year as well as the other major holidays.
