Summary
The Darien Public Schools Board approved the 2026–27 school calendar, keeping elementary conferences at 20 minutes and scheduling a districtwide conference day on Nov. 23, 2026 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The decision followed discussion of DEA feedback and a vote with one member absent.
The Darien Public Schools District #61 Board of Education voted Jan. 27 to adopt the 2026–2027 school calendar, including a districtwide parent‑teacher conference day on Monday, Nov. 23, 2026, scheduled from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Board members discussed a set of requested changes from the Darien Education Association (DEA), including shifting the full conference day and shortening elementary conference time from 20 to 15 minutes. After members asked Dr. Langman to solicit additional parent feedback on the proposed change, the board agreed to retain 20‑minute elementary conferences and to set the full conference day hours as above. The motion carried on a roll‑call vote with Ayes: Pavlu, Ramos, Ceferin, Fujiura, Buckels, Renell; Absent: Myers; Nays: None.
The board recorded the specific conference hours and the decision to keep 20‑minute elementary conferences in the meeting minutes; Dr. Langman said he would follow up with parents if further input was needed before implementation.
