Assistant Superintendent of Education Ivonne Dibblee presented the proposed 2025–2026 school calendars for elementary and middle/high school and discussed using recess, parent/teacher conference time and staff professional development hours toward the district’s annual instructional hour calculations, as allowed by Oregon Administrative Rule OAR 581-022-2320. Board members asked questions about how instructional minutes would be calculated and the impact on schedules for families and staff.
The minutes record the presentation and questions but do not show final board approval of the calendars during the Feb. 13 meeting. The OAR citation was included in the staff presentation as the regulatory basis for counting non-traditional time toward the instructional hours requirement; staff will follow up with details and any required formal approval steps.
