Board approves monthly early‑release days for Wiley and Holcomb elementaries beginning 2026–27
Summary
The board approved a monthly early‑release schedule at Wiley and Holcomb elementaries starting in the 2026–27 school year to provide dedicated professional learning time for staff.
The Holcomb board voted to implement monthly early‑release days for Wiley Elementary and Holcomb Elementary beginning in the 2026–27 school year to create time for professional learning communities and grade‑level collaboration.
Staff explained the change is intended to give teachers dedicated time for planning and professional development. The early releases would align elementary dates with existing middle- and high‑school early‑release days; district transportation would run midday on those dates. A board member suggested additional reminders (texts or day‑of notices) to reduce parent confusion. The motion to approve the early‑release program was moved and seconded and carried with an "aye" vote.
The board directed staff to communicate dates and logistics to families before the school year begins to allow parents to plan for student supervision and bus schedules.
