Employees select 2025–26 calendar; students scheduled Aug. 6–May 25 with standard breaks
Summary
Staff reported employees selected Calendar 1 in a runoff 58%–41%; the 2025–26 student year begins Aug. 6 and ends May 25 and includes Thanksgiving week off, two weeks at Christmas, Mardi Gras and spring break.
Staff reported that, after an employee review and vote, the district’s 2025–26 calendar was selected by staff in a runoff: Calendar 1 won roughly 58% to 41% over the alternative. With supervisor Matthew Hudson out, staff summarized the calendar: student start date is Aug. 6 and the last day is May 25; the calendar provides a Thanksgiving week off, two weeks at Christmas, a Mardi Gras break and spring break, and a professional development day Oct. 10.
The summary indicated the selection followed an Employee Review Committee narrowing five candidate calendars to three and then to a final runoff. The item was presented as informational and the district stated the calendar is final for the 2025–26 school year.
No formal board motion or roll call on the calendar was recorded in the transcript; staff said employees determined the final calendar by vote.
