The Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD) said it will not be proceeding with its proposed late entry pilot project. “We have overwhelmingly heard from our parents/guardians and staff, and we are listening,” said CCSD Chief Superintendent Bryan Szumlas in a Monday letter to families. “CCSD has a long history of asking questions and incorporating feedback into our decisions.” While it will not be moving forward with the late start days, it said it appreciates its students, staff and parents. The CCSD said on November 30 it would be moving forward with a late entry pilot program for the 2024-2025 school year.
