Board previews calendar change to use unused snow days; graduation could move to June 6 if approved
Summary
Because the district has seven unused snow days this year, administration asked the board to consider a calendar revision that would shift graduation to June 6 and make June 5 a teacher work day, with June 4 becoming a student early dismissal; the board plans to vote on a calendar change at the next public meeting.
District administrators told the board the 2024–25 school year currently includes seven unused snow days and presented a proposed adjustment to the calendar that would move graduation and end-of-year dates if the board approves next week.
Under the proposed revision, the week of June 9–13 would become designated as snow makeup days. Graduation would be moved to Saturday, June 6; June 5 would become a teacher work day and June 4 would be the final early-dismissal day for students. Administrators said the change would align the calendar more closely with last year—s schedule and that if unexpected weather closures occur before the end of the year the district would add days back starting from June 5.
Why it matters: The revision is intended to provide a firm graduation date for planning while preserving the district—s ability to add days if weather-related closures occur before the end of the school year.
Board process: Administrators asked the board to vote on the calendar change at the next public meeting. Members discussed the district—s cautious approach to flexible instructional days and said they would provide advance notice to families to allow planning time.
Ending
The calendar revision was presented for approval next week; the board made no formal change at the work session and will take public action at the regular meeting when it appears on the agenda.
