Cascade Board approves 2026–27 school calendar starting before Labor Day
Summary
After staff and teacher polling, the board approved a 2026–27 calendar that starts the week before Labor Day so the district can end earlier in June; teachers preferred the earlier start by a roughly 55–57% margin in district polling.
The Cascade School District Board approved the 2026–27 school calendar, opting for a start the week before Labor Day to allow the school year to conclude earlier in June if no excessive snow days occur. Superintendent Mister Drill said staff and teacher polling guided the choice and noted that "about 55, 57% really liked the before Labor Day" option.
District leaders explained that starting before Labor Day helps avoid pushing the end of the year into the low‑ to mid‑June range if additional snow days are needed; staff also shared a parent calendar and a staff calendar to illustrate differences in schedules. The board moved and approved the calendar by voice vote during the meeting.
