Modified year-round calendar proposed
What happened
On September 11, 2026 staff handed the board a proposed 'modified year-round' calendar. The board did not vote that day; the board chair planned a special called meeting, probably online, to adopt it within a few weeks.
Why it matters to families
A modified year-round calendar would change when students start school and when breaks fall. In December 2025 the principal had said the school did not plan to go year-round because summer is used for repairs and camps.
The evidence
September 11, 2026 recording: 'that's just the proposed modified year round... We won't vote on it today, but I would like to call a special call meeting probably virtually just to get this adopted in the next couple weeks.' The calendar document itself is on the school's blocked website and was not collected. Based on auto-generated captions of the official recording.
