What happened

On April 13, 2026 the board approved a revised 2026-27 calendar under a new state law: school started August 12 and the last day for students is May 25, 2027. Election Day, November 3, is a remote learning day, and April 21, 2026 was also made a remote day for a special election.

Why it matters to families

Families plan child care, trips and jobs around the school calendar, and remote days mean students learn from home.

The evidence

In the April 13, 2026 recording, staff present the revised calendar starting August 12 with the last student day May 25, and the April 21 remote learning day. The published 2026-27 calendar lists November 3, 2026 as a Remote Learning Day.
