Directors discuss calendar options for 2025-26, push decision to second reading
Summary
The board reviewed draft calendars for 2025-26 and discussed starting before or after Labor Day, moving a curriculum day into August, and implications for athletics and tourism jobs; the item was set for second reading next month.
Board members and student representatives previewed the 2025-26 student calendar, focusing on two primary options: start after Labor Day (beginning the first Tuesday after Labor Day) or start before Labor Day by shifting a curriculum day into late August. Staff outlined how each option changes the last student day (June 11 in some scenarios) and how curriculum days and in-service time could be reallocated.
Students and directors weighed family, employer and athletic impacts: some student representatives favored starting after Labor Day so students could work the Labor Day weekend; others said earlier June graduations help families traveling to ceremonies. The board asked staff to gather teacher association feedback and bring a revised calendar for a second reading at the next meeting.
