Comox Valley Schools is putting together schedules for the next three academic years and is asking parents to provide feedback through an online survey.

School District 71 said its draft calendars through 2029 focus on instructional days, professional development days, non-instructional days, vacation periods and statutory holidays.

The school district added its draft calendars are not meant to reflect events linked to specific schools.

The calendars must meet instructional hours set by the Ministry of Education and Child Care.

Responses are due by March 14.
