Stillwater board to evaluate early start/early end calendar pilot; third year decision set for Dec. 16
Summary
The School Board is continuing a three‑year early start/early end calendar pilot. The district will evaluate year one (2025) this spring with academic and attendance metrics and surveys; the proposed 2027–28 (year three) calendar will be considered Dec. 16.
The Independent School District 834 School Board on Dec. 2, 2025, reiterated its commitment to a three‑year early start/early end calendar pilot that began in 2025. District administration said it will evaluate the pilot’s first year this spring, examining academic performance and student attendance and conducting surveys of families, staff and students.
According to the meeting record, the 2026–27 calendar (year two of the pilot) was approved previously on Nov. 14, 2024, and the proposed 2027–28 calendar, the third and final year of the pilot, is scheduled to come before the board for approval at the Dec. 16 meeting. The evaluation planned for spring is intended to provide data to inform the board’s Dec. 16 decision.
The transcript does not include detailed evaluation metrics or specific target thresholds; those details are expected to be included in the spring evaluation report and in the Dec. 16 meeting materials. The board did not take a final vote on the 2027–28 calendar during the Dec. 2 meeting.
