Board reviews draft 2025–26 instructional calendar; August in-service days expanded in draft
Summary
A staff presenter showed a draft 2025–26 instructional calendar that meets state K–12 requirements and proposes expanding August in-service from three to five days to better prepare new staff; the item was presented for review and will return in March for final approval after union feedback.
Presenter: "I am bringing it to you tonight, the 20 25 26 instruction calendar. This is a draft." The presenter told the board the draft meets state requirements for kindergarten through 12th grade and stressed it was submitted as a draft for review and union input, not for action tonight.
The presenter said the district proposes adding a five-day August in-service week because "the 3 in service days in August are not enough for our staff to get their feet under them before the year starts," particularly for new hires. The change is intended to give staff more time to prepare and to expand professional development opportunities into the fall.
Staff said the district routinely shares draft calendars with licensed and classified bargaining units for feedback and that the final calendar will return to the board at the March meeting for approval. The transcript does not record a formal vote on the calendar in the available segments.
