Board approves 2025–26 calendar adjustments, including April 6 student day
Summary
The board approved adjustments to the 2025–26 operational calendar to use Monday, April 6 as a student makeup day; Chesapeake Public Charter School requested an alternate date (March 13) for its internal PD swap, which staff noted in the record.
The Saint Mary's County Board of Education approved adjustments to the 2025–26 school operational calendar on March 4, allowing the district to use Monday, April 6 (the Monday after Easter) as a student day to restore instructional time after a recent snow day. Chesapeake Public Charter School asked the board to accept an alternate plan that instead uses March 13 as a student day in lieu of a professional‑development day for some staff; staff said CPCS’s request affects 10‑ and 11‑month employees' end‑of‑year schedules.
Board member (speaker 2) moved approval; the motion was seconded and adopted by voice vote. Staff said they would publish the approved calendar and run transportation and staffing impacts as necessary.
Quote: “We ask that the board approve the 2025–26 school system operational calendar with operational calendar adjustments as presented,” the presenter said.
What’s next: the district will post the revised calendar and inform families and staff of the makeup day and any local variations for charter schools.
