What happened

The board approved the 2027-28 calendar on July 14. Middle and high school start Aug. 30, 2027 and elementary school starts Sept. 1. The state granted a waiver from the rule that school start on or after Sept. 1.

Why it matters to families

Families plan summer travel and child care around start dates; elementary and secondary start days now differ.

The evidence

The July 14 agenda describes the calendar and says the waiver request was granted on the basis of private-school transportation costs.
