After public comments criticizing a lack of planning for fall intersessions, the Rock Hill School Board appointed a three-member calendar committee to work with staff on the 2026–27 calendar and intersession planning.

Why it matters: The district's calendar and any intersession programming determine when students receive instruction and what services (nutrition, transportation, remediation) are available during breaks. Some attendees said the approved calendar had been passed without clear implementation plans for the intersession periods.

What happened at the meeting: Trustees appointed a calendar committee consisting of three board members — Miss Harris, Miss Daniel and Miss Hutchison — and said they would include the incoming superintendent and the public-information officer in the process. The board emphasized that calendar adoption must occur by December and asked for ongoing updates to the public while committee work proceeds.

Budget and operations: The superintendent and staff told trustees they had projections for intersession staffing but no finalized budget to pay additional personnel; the district can contract teachers up to 190 days without additional compensation requirements, and any extra days would require additional budgeted funds. Superintendent-level staff said partnerships with community organizations (for example, after-school providers) were possible, but the district had not finalized operational plans or funding for a district-run intersession program.

Next steps: The committee will begin work this summer and bring recommendations to the board in time to inform fall planning; trustees asked for regular progress reports and asked staff to communicate available options to families promptly.
