Upper Dublin SD presents draft 2026–27 calendar proposing start before Labor Day
District leaders proposed a draft 2026–27 calendar that would start before Labor Day, include 183 student days with three built-in inclement-weather days at year-end, and convert previous Act 80 days into non-student professional development; board asked for more stakeholder feedback before legislative consideration.
The full story
Dr. Smith presented a draft 2026–27 academic calendar framed by Act 56 of 2023, which allows districts to meet either 180 student days or required instructional minutes. The proposed calendar keeps 183 built-in student days to preserve inclement-weather flexibility and moves professional development days off the official student-day count (PD days will not count as student days).
