Board sets Jan. 13 public hearing on 2025–26 calendar, approves five early graduates and school bus purchase
Summary
The board set a public hearing for Jan. 13 on the draft 2025–26 school calendar (changes tied to state law), approved five early graduates for the Class of 2025 and voted to accept the lone bus bid (priced roughly $4,000 higher per unit than last year).
The North Scott Community School District board set a public hearing for Jan. 13 to consider the draft 2025–26 school calendar, approved five early graduates for the Class of 2025 and approved a school-bus purchase after reviewing a single bid.
Calendar and public hearing: The board reviewed draft-calendar changes—including a revised start date and floating rules for snow days tied to state law—and voted to post and hold a public hearing on Jan. 13. Board members discussed how Presidents’ Day and floating snow-day rules would affect the calendar and the district’s approach to spring break alignment.
Early graduates: A motion to approve five early graduates was moved and seconded and passed on a voice vote; the board approved the list as presented.
School bus procurement: Staff reported receiving one bid this year, with the winning bid approximately $4,000 higher per unit than last year; the district is trading in three buses (previously two). The board approved the bus purchase by voice vote.
Next steps: The public-hearing process on Jan. 13 will allow community input on the calendar. Staff will proceed with the bus procurement and processing of early-graduate paperwork per district procedures.
