Board approves inclement-weather calendar revisions, cancels March 17 retreat
Summary
Trustees approved calendar revisions that convert Dec. 3 to an optional teacher workday and removed a duplicate March 17 retreat from the board schedule; district will survey parents and staff on 2025–26 calendar draft B.
The board approved multiple calendar revisions on Jan. 6 related to inclement-weather adjustments and administrative scheduling.
District staff reported that for the 2024–25 traditional calendar, Tuesday, Dec. 3 will change to an optional teacher workday and student instructional days will be reduced from 177 to 176; the optional teacher workday total will increase from 11 to 12. Similar revisions were approved for Davidson Early College and Yadkin Valley Regional Career Academy, where student days were reduced from 176 to 175 to reflect the waived instructional time.
The board also voted to remove a duplicate March 17 board retreat from the schedule (a motion to remove the March 17 retreat passed by voice vote). Staff additionally presented draft calendars for 2025–26. The district will distribute a digital survey (via social media and SchoolMessenger) to parents and staff asking for feedback on draft B (an early-start option) and will accept hard-copy responses at schools for those without internet access. The survey was scheduled to close Jan. 18 and the board will revisit calendar approval on Feb. 3.
