Fox C‑6 board approves 2025–26 calendar without proposed late starts, signs multiple contracts and a university tuition MOU

The Fox C‑6 School District Board of Education voted on multiple agenda items during its Jan. 14, 2025 meeting, approving the district’s 2025–26 calendar after removing proposed weekly late‑start days and adopting several contracts and a tuition memorandum of understanding.

Calendar decision The board approved the Y26 (2025–26) district calendar but omitted the late‑start Wednesdays that district leaders had proposed to reserve weekly PLC time. The calendar item had been presented for a second reading at the meeting and was the subject of extended debate over whether building‑level PLC practice and secondary schedules (block vs. seven‑period) were ready to use additional weekly PLC time. After discussion the board approved the calendar without the late starts; the vote carried and the board directed the administration to continue block‑schedule committee work, survey teachers, and return with implementation details before any late‑start rollout.
