Trustees approve pilot four-day school week for 2025–26 after split votes
Summary
The Kennedale ISD Board approved a pilot four-day school week for the 2025–26 school year after rejecting a proposed two-week break calendar. The final pilot passed 4–1–2; one trustee abstained and two trustees voted against it.
The Kennedale Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to pilot a four-day school week for the 2025–26 school year after two separate calendar proposals were considered.
Trustee Maria Douglas moved to approve a Two Week Break calendar for 2025–26, seconded by Trustee Felicia Moody; Trustees Esteban Cerda, Maria Douglas and Felicia Moody voted Yes while Trustees Maria Cruz-Perez, Sean Glovier, Darryl Owens and Debbie Villagomez voted No. That motion failed 3–4. Trustee Sean Glovier then moved, seconded by Trustee Maria Cruz-Perez, to approve a pilot four-day school week for 2025–26. Cruz-Perez, Glovier, Owens and Villagomez voted Yes; Douglas and Moody voted No; Cerda abstained. The motion passed 4–1–2.
The vote record in the meeting minutes lists the specific roll-call results for both motions. Board members who opposed the pilot registered their votes during the recorded motion; one trustee abstained on the pilot vote. The district’s agenda and minutes show the calendar decisions were handled as part of Business Items Requiring Action during the Feb. 26 meeting.
The board did not record additional details in the transcribed agenda about implementation measures, specific start/end dates for the pilot, or operational adjustments (transportation, teacher contract modifications, or childcare supports). Those implementation details were not specified in the transcript and will require future administrative action or follow-up at subsequent meetings.
