What happened

On July 23, 2026, the board changed December 15, 2026 and May 23, 2027 from full days to half days at Valparaiso High School. The change supports a new finals schedule: one full exam day with three exams, then two half days with two exams each.

Why it matters to families

High school families should plan for early dismissal on these two days, and students will follow a new exam schedule.

The evidence

The July 23 recording: the request would 'change December 15, 2026 and May 23rd, 2027 from full student days to half days.'
