Moriarty-Edgewood board adopts 2025–26 instructional calendar after survey support for Option 1
Summary
After reviewing staff and family survey results, the board voted to adopt Calendar Option 1 for 2025–26, which includes a no‑student day on Jan. 5 and spring break March 30–April 3; the vote was taken during the May 6 special meeting.
The Moriarty-Edgewood School District board voted May 6 to adopt the 2025–26 instructional calendar (Option 1), after staff presented staff and family survey results showing majority support for that option.
Staff explained Option 1 provides a no-student day on Jan. 5 before students return from winter break and sets spring break for March 30–April 3; district survey results included a staff vote and a separate families vote, both favoring Option 1. Board members asked about distribution of days off across the year and whether future calendars could alter Thanksgiving or other breaks to better distribute non-instructional days.
A motion to remove the calendar from the table and approve Option 1 was made, seconded and carried during the regular meeting; staff committed to publishing the finalized calendar to the public the next day and to earlier publication in future years when possible.
Ending: The board directed staff to publish the adopted calendar and to consider feedback on holiday placement when preparing future calendars.
