Board approves 2026–27 calendar; members discuss four-day week and year-round options
Summary
The board approved the 2026–27 meeting calendar and updated site-visit dates, and members discussed interest in four-day school weeks and year-round calendars, noting state requisition and collective-bargaining steps would be needed for any change.
The Quillayute Valley School District board adopted its meeting calendar for the 2026–27 school year and discussed potential calendar alternatives for students and staff.
After the board reviewed updated site-visit scheduling and annual dates, a motion to accept the board calendar for 2026–27 was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote. The calendar includes moved site visits (elementary to November, middle school to Jan. 12, high school in February).
Separately, a board member raised interest in the four-day school-week model and year-round calendars after seeing other districts adopt such schedules. Board members and staff noted the policy, collective-bargaining, and state-approval steps required: a requisition to the state is needed for alternative calendars and discussions with the teachers' union would be necessary. One board member encouraged community outreach: "I'd love people to email me" with feedback, and staff offered to prepare research and possibly a forum or survey before any formal change was proposed.
The meeting concluded after board approval of the calendar; no change to instructional minutes or a shift to a four-day schedule was implemented or voted on at this meeting.
