We fetch this document again every day and compare it with the version we verified; if the district changes it, the dates here are read again.

Note: Document does not say the calendar is board-approved, so status is unknown. May 27 and 28 are student attendance days only if needed to reach 180 instructional days; otherwise no school. Minimum days (students only): Nov 20, Dec 18, Mar 19, May 26 (last day). Thursdays marked ** (Sep 10, Oct 15, Nov 19, Dec 10, Jan 14, Feb 25, Mar 11, May 13) are two-hour delayed starts for staff collaboration, not early release. Parent-teacher conferences are listed for Oct 19-23 and Mar 30-Apr 2; the document does not say whether these are minimum days, and the grid shows them as school days. Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (Jun 18, an employee holiday) fall after the last day of school. Last day for certificated and classified staff is also May 26. A Spanish version of the same calendar is included and matches.
