Board approves 2025–26 school calendar; first day set for Aug. 4
Summary
Humboldt City School Board approved the 2025–26 student calendar, setting the first day of school for Monday, Aug. 4, and making adjustments to preserve a fall break and to end the school year the day after Memorial Day as a half day for students.
The Humboldt City School Board approved the district's 2025–26 school calendar, setting the first day of student attendance for Monday, Aug. 4, and scheduling the last day as the day after Memorial Day with a half day for students.
Board members said the calendar was adjusted to provide a true fall break and to avoid scheduling conflicts with regional athletic schedules. Administrators explained the change was intended to ensure students would have the same fall break as surrounding districts and to avoid scheduling football practices and games during that break.
During discussion, board members asked for confirmation of specific dates and whether graduation would remain on its usual date; staff responded graduation is expected to remain on May 15. The board voted by voice to approve the calendar; the chair announced, "Ayes have it. There are no nays." No roll-call tally was read into the transcript.
Staff and the board noted the calendar's first day (Aug. 4) and last day adjustments were driven by testing windows and the timing of Memorial Day in 2026. Board members also discussed teacher schedules and how school-year budgeting spans fiscal-year boundaries when extracurricular or stipend payments are involved; staff advised the board to review fiscal impacts with the central office prior to final budget cycles.
The approved calendar will be implemented for the 2025–26 school year and posted by the district.
