District proposes observing Farmworkers Day on March 30, 2027

What happened

The proposed 2026–27 calendar would observe Farmworkers Day on Tuesday, March 30, instead of the state holiday’s March 31 date. The calendar committee recommended the shift because the district is already closed for spring break on Monday, March 29.

Why it matters to families

Families would need to follow the revised district calendar for the holiday observance; the agenda does not specify the resulting student attendance schedule for March 30 or 31.

The evidence

The November 17 agenda item proposes approval of a revised 2026–27 calendar and says the committee recommends observing Farmworkers Day on March 30 rather than March 31, since the district office is closed March 29 for spring break. The item identifies the calendar as previously approved May 6, 2025, and the recommendation is still pending Board action. (Document 160374)
