The 2025–2026 school calendar was originally developed during the 2023–2024 school year. The error occurred when the additional professional development days required under the READ Act legislation passed in 2023 were added but not properly accounted for in the district’s calendar creation software. As a result, the current 2025–2026 calendar exceeds contractual obligations for staff workdays. Given the short timeline to remedy the issue, the district is proposing to move the final student day forward by two days, making Monday, June 8, the last day of school for students. June 9 and June 10 would remain teacher workdays. While some may wonder whether canceled school days could offset this issue, canceled days remain contractual workdays because staff are expected to remain available and prepared to support district operations and student needs when cancellations occur. This proposal allows the district to return to compliance with contractual obligations while maintaining required instructional programming and staff responsibilities. ## CURRENT CALENDAR ## PROPOSED CHANGE ● Move last day of school for PreK - 11 to Monday, June 8 ● Move staff development day to Tuesday, June 9 ## ● Move Evaluation and Planning to Wednesday, June 10 ● Make Thursday, June 11 and Friday, June 12 a non-work day for licensed staff ## MAY 27 28 29 30 1 4 5 6 7 8 11 12 13 14 15 18 19 20 21 22 25 26 27 28 29 ## May 25 District Holiday ## JUNE 1 2 3 4 5 June 4 - last day for seniors - June 5 Graduation 8 9 10 11 12 Last day for students June 8, Staff Development is June 9 and Eval/Planning is June 10 ## Communication Plan: Following board approval, the district will communicate the calendar adjustment to all staff and families on Wednesday, May 20. Communication will include an explanation of the change, updated calendar information, and links to both the staff letter and family letters. ## Staff Letter ## Family Letter Current policy matches a past version of MSBA.
