Board approves 2025-26 calendar, textbook recommendations and technical bylaw edits
Summary
The Wyoming Board approved a proposed 2025-26 calendar (Aug. 13 start, Dec. 20'Jan. 5 winter break, May 28 last student day), recommended social-studies textbook adoptions for middle and high school, and approved minor bylaw and policy cleanups on affiliations, ethics delegation and public participation.
The Wyoming Board of Education approved the district's proposed 2025-26 calendar, recommended textbook adoptions for middle- and high-school social studies, and approved technical edits to board bylaws and policies during its June meeting.
Superintendent (Speaker 2) presented the calendar highlights: a proposed student start date of August 13, winter break from Dec. 20 through Jan. 5 with school resuming Jan. 6, and a proposed last day for students on May 28. He also noted presentations from middle- and high-school staff recommending adoption of new social-studies instructional materials.
Speaker 4 summarized the bylaw and policy changes that were brought forward as a second read: aligning the affiliation language with a 2013 policy, clarifying board planning language, adding a delegated authority reference for administration to the superintendent and treasurer in the ethics section, adjusting public-participation language to explicitly include parents of current Wyoming students, and removing obsolete references to a designated newspaper and outdated fee provisions. Speaker 4 described most edits as technical and designed to align language with current practice.
The items were included on the Board of Education report and approved by roll-call vote during the meeting.
Board officials said the changes are intended to reflect current practice and administrative needs and to ensure the bylaws match statutory and administrative changes made since 2013.
