Skokie SD 69 approves 2025–26 calendar, declines weeklong Thanksgiving change
Summary
The Board approved the official 2025–26 school calendar with 180.5 contractual teacher workdays and 174 student attendance days, keeping the Thanksgiving break schedule unchanged to preserve an end-of-year date of June 5, 2026.
The Board approved the official school calendar for 2025–26, keeping the draft calendar unchanged after considering a request from the teachers' union to create a weeklong Thanksgiving break.
Superintendent Clauson explained that creating a longer Thanksgiving break while keeping the last student day on or before June 5, 2026 would require converting two planned days off into attendance days; the Board elected to keep the existing draft. The approved calendar includes 180.5 contractual teacher workdays and 174 student attendance days, with tentative institute days and early release dates listed in the board packet. If no emergency closings are used, the last full student day will be Friday, June 5, 2026.
