Board reviews proposed 2026–27 student calendar with built‑in makeup days
Summary
District administration presented a proposed 2026–27 calendar: 173 elementary student days, 175 secondary student days, 187 staff days, first student day Aug. 12, 2026 and last day May 21, 2027; the calendar includes 11 staff development days and designated inclement‑weather makeup dates.
District administration presented a proposed 2026–27 student calendar and answered board members' questions about instructional days and inclement‑weather planning.
Doctor Settles outlined the draft calendar: 173 student days for elementary students, 175 for secondary students, and 187 days included for staff (staff contracts typically reflect 190 days). The calendar proposes Aug. 12 as the first student day (a shortened day for K–7 and ninth grade) and May 21, 2027 as the last day. Doctor Settles said the draft includes 11 staff development days and highlighted several days (listed in blue on the draft) reserved for inclement‑weather makeups, naming Feb. 15 and multiple dates in March and May as options.
Settles said teacher and classified advisory groups, academy leadership, and building principals had been consulted; the district expects application volumes for academy programs to mirror prior years. Board members praised the inclusion of makeup days and asked whether the calendar meets state instructional‑day requirements; staff confirmed the draft was created with those requirements in mind and will return with the item on a future agenda for formal action.
No formal vote was taken; the calendar remains a discussion item pending refinement and a future action agenda.
