Summary

To facilitate summer construction and classroom moves at Mile Creek while minimizing student impact, the board approved changing one school day: students will end on June 19 with June 18–19 as half days and certified staff will use June 22 as a professional development day (reducing the school year from 183 to 182 days).

Administration proposed and the board approved a one‑day calendar adjustment to address snow‑day impacts and to support construction work at Mile Creek.

Under the approved change, students will have the last day on June 19 (with June 18 and 19 as half days) and certified staff will report on June 22 for a district professional development day. The change reduces the school year by one day (from 183 to 182 days), and administration said the adjustment will make room for earlier summer construction activity and classroom packing and moves with minimal impact to students. The district also described accommodations for paraprofessionals (IAs) to make up required hours.

Why it matters: the calendar change is designed to align operational needs (construction schedules) with instructional time while preserving promotion and graduation dates; it also allows staff time to prepare classrooms for summer moves.

The motion to approve passed on an affirmative voice vote. The board noted the change is minor in length but materially helpful to planned construction and transition activity at Mile Creek.
