Board authorizes submission for alternative 2025–26 school calendars amid scheduling concerns
Summary
Trustees authorized staff to submit applications to operate alternative schedules for 2025–26 after discussion of instructional minutes, teacher professional development timing and alignment with neighboring districts; vote passed 6–0.
The Board authorized staff to submit applications for alternative school calendars for the 2025–26 year. Staff presented survey results and draft calendars; trustees raised questions about counting instructional minutes, whether the first week of November on one calendar represented a full week for parent-teacher conferences, and how new teachers would receive professional development. Ashley Mitchell confirmed the scheduled full week accommodated parent-teacher conferences and that new-teacher orientation timing can be addressed in planning.
Student Board Representative Olive Hamner-Jillson commented from a student perspective, noting that additional instructional time before AP exams could be helpful. Trustees discussed possible alignment with nearby South Lake Tahoe schools and asked staff to continue refining calendars. The motion to approve the calendars as presented passed 6–0.
