El Campo ISD board approves 2025–26 calendar change to accommodate Wharton County Youth Fair
Summary
The El Campo Independent School Board voted to amend the 2025–26 academic calendar after Wharton County moved its Youth Fair to late March; the board set the district’s Youth Fair day for March 27 and approved the revised calendar by voice/hand vote.
The El Campo Independent School Board voted to amend the district’s 2025–26 academic calendar to accommodate the Wharton County Youth Fair, which moved its dates from April 24–May 1 to March 21–28. Unidentified Speaker 1 told the board the district would adopt a new calendar that sets the district Youth Fair day on March 27.
Board members discussed scheduling concerns before the vote, including a long run of consecutive five‑day weeks between April 3 and May 21 under the old calendar. Unidentified Speaker 1 said the change was to "accommodate the Wharton County Youth Fair," noting the county's new dates and recommending the adjustment for district scheduling.
Unidentified Speaker 1 made the motion to approve the revised calendar and Unidentified Speaker 2 seconded. The board voted in favor by raised hands and the motion passed. The board did not record individual yea/nay votes in the transcript.
The change applies to the 2025–26 academic year and, according to the discussion on the record, otherwise leaves the calendar unchanged except for the district Youth Fair day. The board did not indicate further calendar revisions or additional public hearings; the amendment was approved during the special meeting.
