Board approves 2026–27 school calendar; students to start Aug. 17
Summary
The board approved the 2026–27 calendar with teachers returning Aug. 13 and students beginning Aug. 17; Election Day (Nov. 3) remains a school day under current state guidance and early‑dismissal improvement days were reduced from eight to six.
Superintendent McBrain reviewed the proposed 2026–27 academic calendar and explained the timeline for staffing and instruction. Under the approved calendar teachers would return Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026, and students would begin Monday, Aug. 17, 2026. The calendar committee agreed to hold school on Election Day (Nov. 3) because it is not currently a required holiday; McBrain said the calendar would be amended if the state changes guidance.
The board also approved a reduction in early‑dismissal school improvement days from eight to six. The motion to adopt the calendar was made by Nathan Kirby, seconded by Kassie Greenwood, and passed on a roll call vote 6-0.
