Board approves 2025–26 school calendar after edits on conferences and in‑service days
Summary
After debate about conference formats, in‑service timing and holiday observances, the board approved Calendar A with amendments (including moving selected in‑service dates and setting May 8 as the last day) by voice vote.
Trustees debated two draft calendars before approving a modified Calendar A for the 2025–26 school year.
Board members discussed trade‑offs between a one‑day versus two‑day parent‑teacher conference model, the distribution of in‑service days across the year, and whether to hold school on some federal holidays to allow curriculum programming (for example Veterans Day and Native American Day). One trustee argued two conference nights give parents flexibility; another said teachers prefer one meaningful in‑service day. The board proposed specific amendments—moving an in‑service date, shifting conference timing, and setting May 8 as the final school day—to accommodate instruction and family needs.
A motion to approve Calendar A with the agreed amendments was made and carried by voice vote. Trustees directed staff to circulate the amended calendars to staff and to incorporate the negotiated changes into the final adopted calendar.
