Board OKs calendar change to move staff development and community service day earlier in 2025‑26
Summary
The board approved a revision to the 2025‑26 school calendar moving a staff development/community service day to the end of the first nine weeks to protect staff development time from being displaced by winter weather later in the year.
A staff member told the board about a brief calendar change for the 2025‑26 school year to move a staff development and community service day to the end of the first nine weeks.
The presenter said the change responds to staff feedback that many staff development days in the second semester are lost to snow days. "One of the things that we recognize is that many of our staff development days get wiped out with snow days," the staff member said, and moving the day earlier would ensure the district can provide the training. The day will also include community service opportunities for students, the presenter said.
Board members asked whether the change had been presented previously and whether there were any additional costs. Staff replied that the revision had been presented earlier and that it would not add cost to the district.
The motion to approve the calendar revision passed in the provided transcript excerpt.
