Board reviews draft 2026–27 district calendar; option would end before Memorial Day
Summary
Superintendent presented a draft 2026–27 school calendar that would start in late August and end before Memorial Day; board was told no change is recommended for 2025–26 and principals favor the earlier start date on the draft.
The superintendent presented the previously approved 2025–26 calendar (no changes) and a draft calendar for 2026–27. The draft would start in late August, include standard breaks, and finish before Memorial Day weekend; one school‑leadership vote favored the earlier start that produces the pre‑Memorial Day end date.
Nut graf: The calendar committee compared options and principals voted 8–? in favor of the earlier start; the draft remains open for minor adjustments (for example moving a Jan. 4 day off to December 18 or shifting the start to avoid a delayed‑start Monday). The superintendent said the draft will return for formal approval after committee input.
Board members discussed tradeoffs — late August starts vs. later school starts, Thanksgiving week scheduling, short weeks and operational impacts — and the superintendent said the district will bring a recommendation next cycle.
Ending: Superintendent asked the board to accept the draft for further refinement and to provide feedback through board docs.
