Committee backs a calendar with Oct. 12–13 fall break and later Christmas start
Summary
Staff presented survey results (2,465 responses) and recommended a calendar with a Monday teacher start, staggered student starts in August, a two‑day fall break on Oct. 12–13, and a later Christmas break beginning Dec. 23; the calendar will return for a second reading.
Staff reviewed survey results used to shape the proposed 2025–26 school calendar (2,465 respondents, including 1,126 employees) and explained the committee chose a calendar that balances holiday length, fall break timing and athletic schedules. The presenter said the committee weighed survey preferences and operational constraints and recommended a calendar with a Monday start for teachers, staggered student starts and a two‑day fall break on Oct. 12–13.
Committee members asked for details about professional learning placeholders and the dollar value of dual‑enrollment credits (staff said they typically estimate about $150 per credit). The calendar will be returned for a second reading after staff finalizes placeholders and any outstanding scheduling items.
