District proposes hours-based 2026–27 calendar and outlines TSI plan for a student subgroup
Summary
Administration presented a draft 2026–27 calendar using the state’s hours option, moved spring conferences earlier and preserved a two-week Christmas break; administrators also disclosed a targeted-support (TSI) designation for a special-education subgroup and described steps for a school-improvement plan.
District leaders presented a draft 2026–27 calendar developed with teachers and administrators that uses the state’s hours option and was designed to provide flexibility, built-in snow days and an earlier conference schedule intended to preserve instructional continuity before Easter.
The presentation described the rationale for the hours-based calendar (reported in the meeting as approximately 1,032 hours), included a planned two-week December break and noted the district built in six potential built-in snow days. Administrators said they continue to seek staff and community feedback and plan to present the calendar for formal approval in February.
In the same presentation administrators reported the district received a state designation of targeted support and improvement (TSI) for a subgroup of students (a special-education subgroup). Officials said they had already placed interventions in the elementary and middle buildings, were using targeted instructional programs and attendance interventions for the affected subgroup, and will create a school-improvement plan tailored to the state template once it is released; that plan will require board approval when complete.
Administrators said the identification is a prompt to act rather than a punitive step and described ongoing work to support the subgroup, including targeted interventions, teacher training and monitoring expected outcomes through the school year.
