Summary

Staff presented a proposed 2025–26 calendar aligned to Fremont Union High School District; parents asked about spacing of January days off and Veterans Day, and staff said they had vetted the calendar with unions but would re-check spacing based on feedback.

Staff presented a draft 2025–26 school calendar aligned with the Fremont Union High School District and said the board is scheduled to consider adoption in December. Several parents asked the board to reconsider how staff-development days and non-student days are spaced around January and Veterans Day to reduce the burden on working families.

Staff clarified the difference between a "staff development day" (teacher work day, no students) and a "no-student, no-teacher day" (non-duty day) and said the calendar had been vetted with district bargaining units. Trustees asked staff to re-check those spacing decisions with unions and noted they would bring the item back for a formal adoption when final details are confirmed.
