Mount Vernon board approves 2026–27 school calendar; aligns county long breaks
Summary
The board approved the 2026–27 (2627) school calendar, adopting changes informed by teacher feedback and noting countywide alignment on long breaks and the planned career center opening under the Amplify roof.
The Mount Vernon Community School Corp. Board of Trustees approved the 2026–27 school calendar, which mirrors the previous year's layout with a shifted teacher work date and retention of the district’s parent-teacher connection day in September.
Administrators told the board that the calendar largely repeats what was presented last year but incorporates teacher feedback to move one staff workday from the start of the school year to the first day of the second semester. Board members praised the change as responsive to teacher input. The board recorded a 5-0 vote to accept the calendar.
Board members also noted coordination with neighboring districts: the district’s trustees said four county school corporations agreed on the same four long breaks, which the board viewed as helpful for the planned opening of the county career center under the Amplify roof. No further calendar changes were presented for the cohort of students who will be subject to a new state diploma; the administration said the district is awaiting state guidance and will present a separate handbook for that cohort when details are available.
