[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anyone who couldn’t watch:

1. A motion is going to the board for Veterans Day and Indigenous People’s day 2026 to be school days.
2. Strong advocacy for early release to 1. Be moved to Friday and 2. Not be scheduled to occur on any week with a different holiday/second early release.

Some discussions around changing number of snowdays to get a week back and what to do about elections.[/quote]

I checked the calendar for next year and there are actually not too many weeks that qualify under point 2. Especially if they continue to divide up the county for which schools have the early release. And some of the days that do qualify, if they do it on Fridays, are right before a Monday holiday or a break. By my count the only qualifying days would be - not counting anything in August or June when they don’t do them:

9/18
10/2
10/9 (Monday 10/12 is a student holiday)
10/23
11/20 (Thanksgiving break starts Weds 11/25)
12/4, 11, and 18 (18 is day before winter break)
1/8
1/15 (Monday 1/18 is MLK day)
2/12 (Monday 2/15 is Presidents’ Day)
2/26
3/5
3/19 (day before spring break)
4/2, 4/9, 4/30
5/7
5/14 (Monday 5/17 is a day off)

I count 13 Fridays on days that don’t already have a day off or an early release and aren’t right before a long weekend or break … [/quote]
