LAUSD and LHS furlough and holiday gives a week vacation for Thanksgiving.

This is the last day of school for LAUSD generally and Lincoln High specifically. Lincoln is on an "Early Start School" schedule and will end the fall semester next month but there's added the extra full week of holiday from the students' viewpoint beginning with the close of school today.

The furlough days, or as the LHS website calendar has it, "furough," will be observed on next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday as part of the budget arrangement to save LAUSD some money. The Thanksgiving holiday that customarily includes the following Friday will provide all the District with a full week of "vacation." Next classes at Lincoln will resume in 10 days.

This means lost pay for employees but on the positive side, it givea a head start to anyone taking the opportunity for getting travel done a little early for this holiday.

Closing out this week is that football playoff game that LHS has tonight, as mentioned in the posting yesterday. Good luck, Tigers and Woody, you and your staff have done a remarkable job with the program.
