The Scotland Board of Education voted unanimously April 7 to set June 17, 2026, as the last day of school after approving a memorandum of understanding with teachers to reduce the school calendar from 182 to 180 days.
Clark Stearns moved that June 17 be the final day of the 2025–26 school year; Michael Gile seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The action was recorded as motion #3-25/26.
Superintendent Valerie Bruneau and board members discussed the proposal as a way to account for snow days and to align the calendar with bargaining terms. The minutes record that the MOU contains the exact terms discussed and that the agreement is irrevocable once signed.
The minutes also note that the district offered parting packages to five eligible staff as part of staffing adjustments linked to budget planning; two staff accepted, two declined, and one remained undecided at the time of the meeting.
The board listed the calendar item among assignments for the next meeting, where any final signatures or administrative steps can be completed.
