Board adopts 2026–27 calendar; unions and staff favored earlier start before Labor Day
Summary
The board approved the 2026–27 district calendar to begin before Labor Day after staff and union surveys showed majority support for an earlier start, though one board member objected citing county alignment concerns.
Administration presented two calendar options and explained this year’s late Labor Day made the earlier-start alternative worth considering. Megan, representing OSEA staff engagement, said the “majority also chose the earlier start date.”
Because unions and the leadership team favored the earlier start, administration recommended adopting the earlier calendar so families and staff can plan. The board voted to approve the 2026–27 district calendar after one board member registered a 'no' vote citing concerns about county alignment; motion carried by voice vote.
Board members asked staff to monitor neighboring districts' decisions and return if alignment issues create scheduling conflicts for families or shared programs. Administration and unions will communicate final calendar details to staff, families and community partners.
