Board reviews draft instructional calendars, hears cash report and a public bond‑vote comment
Summary
Staff presented three draft instructional calendars that preserve required instructional time and adjust holiday/spring‑break placement; the finance officer gave a second‑quarter cash report and a public speaker criticized a recent bond issue vote.
District staff presented three draft instructional calendars for the 2026–27 year that preserve the required instructional time (172 student days and 183 contract days). The drafts differ in placement of Veterans Day and spring break and in a proposal to include one parent‑teacher conference day as instructional time; staff said calendars will not start before Aug. 1 and will end before Memorial Day. The board was asked to gather staff and public input before returning with a final calendar.
The financial officer reported the district’s second‑quarter cash position (period ended Dec. 31, 2025) and said total cash across funds was approximately $42,600,000. Staff noted total revenues and expenditures and said recent timing issues with reimbursements have caused temporary fluctuations; the district expects reimbursement timing to normalize and that a modest unit‑value increase may be announced soon.
During open forum a member of the public, Bill Taylor, spoke about a recent bond issue vote and explained why he voted no on a later bond attempt, urging the board to respect voters' responses across repeated measures. The meeting ended with announcements about a March 13 staff data day, spring break and the next regular meeting on March 24.
