Superintendent presented a draft 2025–26 calendar proposing an Aug. 25 start and a June 5 last day to align with Niles Township superintendents; the calendar includes religious observances and will return for board action in November.

Superintendent Dr. Scott Grens presented an informational draft calendar for 2025–26 that aligns with neighboring Niles Township districts. The draft would start student attendance on Monday, Aug. 25 and end the year on Friday, June 5; spring break is proposed for March 30–April 3 to align with high‑school schedules and religious observances such as Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Eid are included on the draft.

Grens said the calendar was shared for feedback and that the board will receive the item for formal approval in November. Board members asked about color coding on the calendar and potential adjustments to avoid conflicts with parent‑teacher conference dates; Grens said the district will follow up with school‑level scheduling to reduce conflicts with board meeting nights.
