South Range board opens 30-day review of proposed 2026–27 school calendar
Summary
Administration proposed opening a 30-day public-comment period for the 2026–27 calendar, presenting two draft options near 1,100 instructional hours and noting the district will take public input before a December adoption vote.
The South Range Local Board of Education voted to open a 30-day public-comment period on the proposed 2026–27 school calendar after administration presented two draft options that aim for about 1,100 instructional hours.
Administration told trustees the motion was intended to begin community conversation and required notice ahead of a formal adoption vote at the December meeting. A staff presenter summarized the calendar approach, noting the proposals account for negotiated contract days, two early-dismissal days, and the way holiday placement affects instructional-day scheduling.
Trustees and staff discussed how additional instructional hours might be scheduled around state tests and the challenges of creating a single K–12 schedule that works for all grade levels and busing. The board approved initiating the public 30-day review and said it will collect community feedback and present a final calendar for adoption at the December meeting.
