Summary

The district showed a proposed 2025–26 calendar aligned to the high‑school district; parents urged staff to space January and other days differently to reduce burdens on families and to confirm the difference between staff development and no‑student days.

Staff presented a draft 2025–26 school calendar that largely aligns with the Fremont Union High School District calendar and will be scheduled for adoption at the December board meeting. The draft follows a similar structure to the current year; staff said they will bring the final adoption back in December to allow families time to plan.

Parents recommended small adjustments to reduce family burden in January. Jessie Jurecki (S16) asked the board to avoid clustering multiple days off in January (staff development, MLK Day and another no‑student day) and suggested moving a staff development day to November 10 so families would face fewer mid‑January disruptions. Staff explained that some days were selected to align with high‑school schedules and that the district had vetted proposed changes with employee groups, but agreed to re‑check options before final adoption.
