Board adopts 2026‑27 calendar and eliminates early‑release Wednesdays
Summary
The board approved the 2026‑27 school calendar and voted to eliminate early‑release Wednesdays beginning in the 2026‑27 school year, decisions recorded as carried 5‑0.
The International Falls School District board approved the 2026‑27 school calendar and separately voted to eliminate early‑release Wednesdays beginning with the 2026‑27 school year. Both motions were recorded as carried 5‑0 with Toni Korpi noted as not in attendance at the time.
Approval of the calendar and the change to eliminate weekly early release time were included among a set of action items intended to improve systems and structures to create a welcoming culture. The minutes do not include the calendar document, the rationale in detail for eliminating early releases, nor an implementation timeline for schedule changes (for example, changes to start/end times or professional development scheduling).
Board materials or subsequent administrative communications should provide the finalized calendar, any adjustments to daily schedules, and details on how professional development time formerly scheduled on early release Wednesdays will be accommodated.
