2026-27 calendar: school starts Sept. 1, ends June 25, closed for Eid and Yom Kippur
What happened
The calendar listed for approval on March 11 has 183 school days. Students start Sept. 1, 2026 and finish June 25, 2027. Schools are closed on Yom Kippur (Sept. 21) and Eid al-Fitr (March 9). Winter recess is Feb. 15-19 and spring recess is April 22-30.
Why it matters to families
Families plan work, travel and child care around the calendar. A parent asked in January for Eid to be added, and it is on the final calendar.
The evidence
The final 2026-27 calendar file attached to the March 11 agenda, plus Feb. 4 minutes where Dr. Thompson said the calendar must balance chronic absenteeism, labor contracts and religious days.
