Ely school board adopts 2025–26 school-year calendar
Summary
The Ely Public School District board unanimously adopted the 2025–26 school-year calendar at its March 10 meeting, approving the motion on a 5–0 vote. The adoption follows routine agenda and consent approvals and the board said it will continue budget and scheduling work at an upcoming study session.
The School Board of Independent School District No. 696 voted unanimously to adopt the 2025–26 school-year calendar during its March 10 meeting. Director Colarich moved the motion, which Director Westlund seconded; the minutes record the action as: "Moved by Colarich, seconded by Westlund, to adopt the 2025-2026 school year calendar. Motion carried. (Vote: 5, 0)."
Board members did not record extended debate on the calendar in the minutes. Superintendent Anne Oelke noted at the meeting that a forthcoming study session will focus on budget discussions and class schedules for 2025–26, which the board identified as primary planning priorities going forward. The calendar adoption is the formal scheduling framework the district will use as administrators finalize class assignments and transportation planning.
The board followed standard procedure by handling the calendar as new business after approving the program and personnel consent agendas earlier in the meeting. There was no recorded objection to the calendar and no amendment offered on the floor. Next steps noted by district leadership include continued budget planning and public-facing communication about schedule changes for families.
