East Windsor board adopts 2025–26 school calendar; half-day schedule reflects teacher contract
Summary
The East Windsor Board of Education approved the 2025–26 school calendar after staff explained that recurring half days are tied to the teacher contract and professional-development scheduling; the calendar passed unanimously.
The East Windsor Board of Education approved the proposed 2025–26 school calendar at the meeting after a staff explanation that recurring half days reflect contractually required professional development time for teachers. Board member Betsy moved to approve the calendar and Carrie seconded; the motion passed with no recorded opposition.
Members asked whether the district could consolidate half days into full professional-development days for families’ convenience. Staff explained the teachers’ contract sets a 185-day work year and that the half-day structure combines in-school instruction time with paid staff development time; changing to full days would require contract changes or adding days to the calendar. The board approved the calendar as presented and the superintendent will implement the schedule for the coming school year.
