Summary

Trustees voted unanimously to adopt Option 1 for the 2026—7 academic calendar (recommended by staff), citing timing advantages for ADC sessions and better summer enrollment and implementation fidelity.

The board voted to approve Option 1 for the 2026—27 academic calendar after administration presented two alternatives and recommended Option 1 for timing and implementation reasons.

Administration explained the district researched nearby districts and ADC implementation considerations; the recommended option avoids beginning session timing that historically produced lower attendance for session two after July 4. "Based on the timing and when it starts...I would recommend just based on the timing...the first calendar," one administrator said. Trustees discussed teacher planning time, recruiting and potential attendance effects and ultimately approved Option 1 by unanimous vote.
