Board revises 2026–27 calendar to observe Election Day closure on Nov. 3
Summary
To comply with state requirements that schools be closed on Nov. 3 (an even‑year election day), the board approved a revision moving a professional development day and preserving inclement‑weather days so schools will be closed Nov. 3.
Interim Superintendent Dennis Ulmer told the board the district must observe state law requiring school closure on November 3 in even‑numbered years and proposed swapping a PD/work day to absorb the mandated closure without losing instructional days. "It is an even year because it's an even year. We have to take November 3 off," Ulmer said, and presented a plan that shifts a PD day from the 7th to the 8th and leaves one inclement‑weather day on the calendar.
A board member supported the change and asked administration to consider whether the district should revisit the practice of taking a full week off in November in future calendar planning. The board moved to approve the calendar revision to comply with state law and approved it by voice vote; the chair asked the administration to notify parents about the change.
