Summary
The Manor ISD Board of Trustees voted 7–0 to adopt the district academic calendars for 2025–26 and 2026–27. The calendars include Veterans Day observance on the actual day and set future contract start dates at the last day of July.
The Manor Independent School District Board of Trustees on March 3 adopted the district academic calendars for school years 2025–26 and 2026–27.
Trustee Patterson moved to approve the calendars “as presented,” and Trustee Howard seconded. After brief discussion about whether to observe Veterans Day on the actual day or to move observance to the Monday of the Veterans Day week, trustees voted to approve the calendars as written. The board recorded a unanimous 7–0 vote in favor.
What the calendars include
- Veterans Day: calendars for 2025–26 and 2026–27 preserve Veterans Day as an observed day off on the actual calendar date (the presentation noted the dates would fall on a Tuesday in 2025–26 and a Wednesday in 2026–27). Trustees discussed the trade-off between honoring veterans on the actual date and providing a Monday three-day weekend for staff and families. - Contract start date: the calendars set the start date for future contracts at the last day of July in the relevant school years (the presentation said this was a change in start timing for future contracts).
