What happened

On March 5, 2026 the board approved the 2026-27 school calendar. The acting superintendent said the winter recess is about a week and a half, shorter than the two weeks of recent years, and there is a full week off in February. An April 21 amendment changed which nights hold conferences, not the days open or closed.

Why it matters to families

Families plan travel and child care around the calendar. School opens for two days before Labor Day, which is late in 2026.

The evidence

The March 5 recording transcript has a trustee's question about the winter break and the acting superintendent's answer describing the trade-off with February. The April 21 recording says the amendment made no change to dates open or closed. Captions are auto-generated.
