Summary
The board approved the director's recommended school calendar (Option 1), which maintains the current schedule pattern including a full week at Thanksgiving and similar fall and winter breaks; approval was by voice vote during the meeting.
The Henderson County Board of Education voted to adopt the school calendar recommended by Director Beauchamp, approving the option that preserves the district's current scheduling pattern, including a full week for Thanksgiving and similar fall and winter breaks.
Beauchamp told the board the calendar was developed after seeking input from central office and school‑level personnel and presented two options in the board packet. "This is in keeping pretty much, the schedule that we have," Beauchamp said when offering the recommended option.
A board member moved to approve Option 1, the motion was seconded, and the chair announced the motion carried by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript. The calendar was presented under board policy 1.8, which governs board approval of the annual calendar.
The board did not discuss changes to specific instructional days or student contact hours during the public portion of the meeting; the director indicated the recommended option reflected input from schools and central office staff.
The adopted calendar will guide the district's scheduling for the coming school year; staff will publish the approved dates and operational details to parents and school staff.
