District administrators and principals presented the 2025–26 master schedule, bell times and enhancements including a longer school day, increased instructional minutes and more consistent blocks across schools.

District administrators presented a package of schedule changes intended to increase instructional time and consistency across schools for the 2025–26 year.

Dr. Kim Liles, Principal Jake Little and Principal Katie Johnson walked the Board through the master schedule, bell times and planned enhancements. The presentation said planned changes include a longer school day, more instructional minutes and more consistent blocks of time dedicated to instruction across the three schools. The changes are intended to support targeted interventions and provide more predictable instructional segments for teachers and students.

Board members moved the strategic-plan and some related presentations to August to allow more time for review, but the start-of-year schedule and bell-time changes will guide planning for the fall.
