The board approved the 2026–27 district calendar after a presentation explaining alignment with payroll, instructional-hour requirements and construction constraints; the motion passed by recorded voice vote with unanimous ayes.
The board voted to approve the 2026–27 David Douglas School District calendar following a presentation explaining why the district advanced the calendar now for payroll and HR planning.
Andy (district staff) told the board early approval allows payroll and human-resources offices to begin 2027 planning and explained the calendar is measured by instructional hours rather than simple days. He also said construction constraints prevented an earlier start in 2027.
Speaker 5 moved approval of the calendar and Speaker 6 seconded. The board recorded "aye" votes from Ender, Stevenson, Epstein, Jim Richardson, Jordan, Stevens and Franklin and approved the calendar.
What’s next: the district will finalize level calendars for high schools and elementary/middle schools that add detailed events, professional development days and inclement-weather placeholders.
