School board approves 2026–27 district calendar after near-unanimous survey result
Summary
The Williamsburg County School District Board voted to adopt the 2026–27 high-school calendar after a district survey of 401 stakeholders showed 93.5% support for the recommended schedule; the board carried the motion at its March 20 meeting.
The Williamsburg County School District Board of Trustees voted March 20 to adopt the 2026–27 high‑school calendar after a district survey overwhelmingly favored the recommended schedule.
Dr. Sters, director of professional instructional support, told trustees the district collected 401 responses to a calendar survey and that 93.5% of respondents preferred what the district labeled “Calendar B.” Respondents cited timing around Easter, travel convenience for families and a pre‑test rest period staff said would help students prepare for state assessments.
A board member moved to approve the 2026–27 calendar; the motion was seconded and carried. The transcript does not include a roll‑call vote or tally. Board members asked to receive a copy of the calendar document and were told the board packet contains the full schedule.
The board chair reminded parents that state testing begins May 4 and urged families to make sure students arrive on time and are prepared. Trustees did not attach conditions or amendments to the calendar approval during the meeting.
