Board adopts 2025'26 calendar, adding three student instructional days
Summary
The board adopted the 2025'26 academic calendar, increasing student instructional days from 169 to 172 while keeping teacher-contracted days the same; members discussed coordination with sending/parochial schools and a legislative attendance incentive tied to 169 days.
The school board voted to adopt the 2025'26 school calendar, which increases student instructional days to 172 and rearranges professional development time to keep teacher-contracted days unchanged.
The presenter noted the new calendar adds three student instructional days (up from 169 to 172) and retains the same number of teacher-contracted days by converting some professional development time to student days. "We have added, more student instructional days," the presenter said, and observed the change creates a small buffer in light of a legislative incentive tied to a 169-day minimum under Senate Bill 727.
Board members asked whether the calendar committee contacted sending or parochial schools and discussed how sending-school calendars typically align with district schedules. The presenter said the district usually finalizes its calendar early so sending schools can match schedules where possible.
Following discussion a board member presented the calendar for approval and the board approved it by voice vote. The board directed staff to provide the finalized calendar materials for distribution and to coordinate with sending schools as practicable.
