Trustees approve 2026–27 and 2027–28 calendars and expand pre-K to include 3‑year‑olds
Summary
The board adopted proposed 2026–27 and 2027–28 school calendars and approved a pre-K expansion (Option B) to include three‑year‑old students; staff will publish calendars and proceed with implementation.
Trustees voted to adopt the district's proposed academic calendars for 2026–27 and 2027–28 and approved a pre-kindergarten expansion to include three-year-olds.
Curriculum staff presented two vetted calendars developed with stakeholder committees; trustees discussed how commemorative 'special days' (for example Veterans Day and Cesar Chavez Day) should be reflected in district guidance versus the academic calendar. After discussion, Trustee Zapata moved to accept both calendars; the motion passed and the calendars will be published and distributed to campuses.
On a related item, the board considered Option B for pre-K expansion to include 3‑year‑old students. Trustee Hall moved to approve the expansion proposal and Trustee Freeman seconded; the board approved the expansion and staff will begin planning enrollment, special-education inclusion and staffing needs.
