Summary
An e-learning and snow-day survey of 337 respondents found 59.3% agreed e-learning supports student learning but 80.7% reported lower engagement on those days; the district is considering shortening fall break and may survey students and staff further.
Associate Superintendent Marquisha Parker presented results from a district survey on e-learning and snow days: 337 people responded.
On the question of whether e-learning days are effective in supporting student learning, 59.3% of respondents (agree + strongly agree) said yes; 40.7% disagreed. When asked about student engagement and work completion on e-learning days, 80.7% indicated engagement is lower (combining "significantly lower" and "slightly lower"). Despite lower engagement, 47.2% of respondents said they prefer e-learning days, while 52.8% did not prefer them as strongly.
Parker said staff will continue discussing calendar options for the 2026–27 school year, including whether to shorten fall break to a long weekend and finish the school year in May. The split on fall break preferences was near even: roughly 52.2% favored keeping a full-week fall break while 47.8% favored shortening it.
Trustees asked whether the district could survey staff anonymously about whether they would call in sick during fall break to attend local events; Parker said the district could add that question.
The presentation was informational; no vote was taken.
