Board adopts 2026–27 district calendar amid election‑day scheduling concerns
Summary
The board adopted the 2026–27 district calendar with discussion about starting day (likely Monday) because a Thursday election date and fair day affect scheduling; the board approved the calendar unanimously.
The Benton County Board of Education adopted the 2026–27 district calendar after brief discussion about the timing of the school year and local events.
Speaker 1 introduced the calendar for approval. Speaker 3 noted that school likely begins on Monday because an election falls on a Thursday and cited considerations about county fair scheduling and use of schools as polling places. Speaker 3 said they would speak with the election commission about possibly not using schools as precincts but noted it may not be feasible.
With no further discussion the board voted to approve the 26–27 district calendar and the chair announced the motion passed by voice vote. The board also set committee meeting dates and reminded members of spring break (March 31–April 4) and the next board meeting on March 7 at 6 p.m.
