West Chicago District 33 board adopts 2026–27 school calendar
Summary
The Board of Education unanimously approved the District 33 2026–27 school calendar at its Jan. 22 meeting. The motion passed 7–0; the item was presented as ready for adoption after stakeholder committee work and will now guide next year’s instructional schedule.
The Board of Education for School District 33 in West Chicago adopted the 2026–27 school calendar during its Jan. 22 regular meeting.
The board voted 7–0 to approve the calendar after a motion by Tom Doyle and a second from Sandra Garcia. President Rita Balgeman called the roll for the vote; all seven members present voted in favor.
District staff said the calendar was developed with stakeholder input through a newly formed calendar committee, which the minutes note includes administration, teachers, aides, parents and, in some cases, students. The district had previously highlighted the calendar committee as part of its commitment to shared decision-making and alignment with neighboring districts.
Why it matters: the adopted calendar sets instructional days, scheduled professional-development time and dates for districtwide events, and it is the timeline staff will use to finalize operational plans for the 2026–27 school year.
The board’s minutes do not list the calendar’s specific start and end dates in the meeting text; district staff indicated the calendar will be posted for public reference and implemented for the 2026–27 year. The board noted the calendar was the product of committee work and local review and did not amend it at the meeting.
The board will continue routine oversight of implementation and any calendar-related operational changes will be presented to the board in subsequent meetings.
