Board approves 2026–27 and 2027–28 school calendars
Summary
Hinckley-Big Rock board unanimously approved the proposed 2026–27 and 2027–28 school calendars, which include an Aug. 19 start and a full week off for Thanksgiving; Election Day could shift the last day of school if it becomes a required holiday.
The board voted 7-0 to approve the proposed 2026–27 and 2027–28 school calendars. The calendars plan to start the school year Aug. 19, end the year before Memorial Day and include a full week off at Thanksgiving. Abigail Barrett moved to approve the calendars; Jack Haines seconded the motion.
Board discussion noted that if Election Day becomes a required holiday in 2026, the last day of school would move one day later to May 28. Parent-teacher conferences will continue to be offered in multiple formats — virtual, phone or in person — per the proposed calendars.
