Board adopts PTS Rising Early Learning Center 2025–26 calendar
Summary
The board approved the Early Learning Center calendar, which provides 948 instructional hours (exceeding the 900-hour minimum), adds a five-day week and one Friday per month for in-service; the calendar includes three June make-up days to be repurposed if not needed.
The Phoenix-Talent Schools Board voted 5-0 on May 1 to approve the PTS Rising Early Learning Center 2025–26 calendar.
Director Dawn Watson moved to approve the calendar and Director Rick Nagel seconded the motion. Kelly Soter, who joined the meeting online, said the calendar was designed to align with the district calendar so that the center is closed when district schools are closed. She said the calendar delivers 948 hours of instruction, above the 900-hour minimum, and includes three make-up days in June that will be used for professional learning if not required for missed days.
Board members said the longer schedule provides additional instructional time and buffers to support students and staff. The board carried the motion by unanimous vote with two members absent.
