Summary

The school committee voted to approve a hybrid 2026–27 school calendar with selected early-release Wednesdays and Fridays to collect attendance and operational data; the motion passed by voice/hand vote.

The Nashoba Regional School Committee approved the 2026–27 hybrid calendar at its Dec. 3 meeting. The motion, moved by Amy and seconded by the chair, would keep a mix of early-release Wednesdays and Fridays on selected dates next year to allow the district to gather data and to provide some continuity with existing parent schedules.

Supporters said the hybrid model balances the needs of families who rely on Friday half days and the district—s desire to test whether midweek early-release days improve attendance and programmatic coordination. The schedule selection included four Wednesdays and three Fridays as the early-release days in the adopted calendar; staff said the four Wednesdays chosen are weeks with the highest incident rates in district reports.

The committee approved the motion on a voice/hand vote and directed staff to notify construction and town-clerk partners so scheduling and related construction planning can proceed.
