Board adopts 2026–27 academic calendar; staff-favored option selected
Summary
Trustees approved the 2026–27 academic calendar after staff polling (75 responses, 66% favored); changes include taking the Thursday before Christmas off and adding an April 16 staff exchange day for professional development.
The Collinsville ISD Board adopted the 2026–27 academic calendar after administration presented two options and said 66% of staff (75 responses) preferred the selected calendar. Key differences highlighted include not holding school the Thursday before Christmas and a staff exchange day on April 16 intended for summer professional development or writing instruction.
Administration explained the choice was based on staff feedback and scheduling constraints (e.g., January 1 fell on a Friday the prior year), and trustees voted unanimously to adopt the recommended calendar.
