Board approves staff-development waiver days as district adjusts to HB 2610 minute requirement
Summary
Trustees approved five staff-development waiver days for 2026–2027 after reviewing HB 2610's requirement that districts provide at least 75,600 minutes of instruction; motion was unanimous.
Wink-Loving ISD trustees approved staff-development waiver days for the 2026–2027 school year at the April 13 meeting. Administration said districts must comply with House Bill 2610, which replaces a days-based requirement with a minutes-based standard of at least 75,600 minutes of instruction; the waiver days are being requested to receive credit under that framework.
Trustee Raymond Dodd moved to approve the waiver days (August 13–14, 2026; September 21, 2026; January 5–6, 2027); Trustee Chad Evans seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Administration indicated the waiver application process occurs each year to receive instructional-credit credit for staff-development days.
