Committee moves 2025‑26 school calendar and four student trips to action
Summary
The committee approved minutes and moved the 2025‑26 calendar and four student travel requests to the action agenda; members noted calendar adjustments that change the last student day to June 12 and flagged fundraising and hardship supports for trips.
The committee approved the minutes from the prior meeting by voice vote and moved the 2025‑26 school calendar and a set of student travel requests to the action agenda for final approval at a subsequent meeting.
Committee members discussed several calendar changes included in the proposed 2025‑26 schedule. The district noted May 19 will be an in‑service day, and a Monday in March (presented as March 24) will be a student half day; a teacher in‑service day was noted on March 30. District staff said a change to those dates shifts the last student day in June from the previously presented June 15 to June 12. Committee members thanked administrators and union representatives for multiple calendar revisions and for spreading adjustments across the year.
The student travel items moved to action together; the agenda materials listed four recommended trips:
- About 20 JROTC students, staff and chaperones were recommended to attend the 80th anniversary Normandy ceremonies in France, June 3–10, 2026. - About 100 North Penn High School band students, 6 staff and 7 chaperones were recommended to perform in and around Los Angeles, Jan. 14–19, 2026. - Approximately 39 Penbrook Middle School Technology Student Association students, a staff member and a chaperone were recommended to compete at the Pennsylvania TSA state conference at Seven Springs, April 23–26 (this year). - Three North Penn High School students and a staff member were recommended to attend the Honors Ensembles conference in Hartford, Conn., April 24–27 (this year).
Board members noted that the trips are planned well in advance and discussed fundraising and hardship support options to help ensure students who cannot afford travel can participate. The committee approved the motions by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
