Board adopts 2027–28 school calendar with seven professional development days
Summary
The Board of Education approved the 2027–28 instructional calendar developed by a staff committee; the calendar includes seven professional development days, two fewer instructional days, and scheduling intended to allow teachers time to prepare before the first student day.
The Board of Education voted to adopt the district's 2027–28 instructional calendar after a presenter described the committee process and staff input used to produce two proposed calendars. Board materials showed the district provided both calendars to staff for a vote, with the calendar receiving the most staff support selected for adoption.
School leaders said the adopted schedule contains seven professional development days and reduces taught days by two compared with prior practice; the presenter emphasized the teacher contract remains at 180 days. The calendar schedules professional development in the week before classes to help new and returning teachers prepare their classrooms without starting in the summer.
Board members asked clarifying questions about timing and the presentation of the calendar in the board book; the presenter acknowledged the calendar should have been included in the book earlier and noted that voting occurred while materials were being finalized. The motion to adopt the calendar was seconded and carried.
