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: Header of the calendar says 'approved June 2025', but the PDF's text layer also says '2026-2027 CALENDAR -- DRAFT A'. The document also says teacher workdays (blue) will be selected during the 2025-26 year and a revised 2026-27 calendar will be released, so verify before booking travel. Total instructional days stated as 174.5 (shown here as 174 because a whole number is required). Last day (June 9) is an early release day. Thanksgiving break: Nov 25 is a teacher workday, so students are off Nov 25-27. Winter break: students are off Dec 21 (teacher workday) through Jan 4 (teacher workday); the break range here includes the Jan 1 state holiday. Spring break: Mar 26 (Good Friday, state holiday) is also off, so students are out Mar 26-Apr 5. Make-up dates (Oct 2, Jan 19, Feb 15, Mar 2, Apr 5, May 14) will be converted to regular school days as needed for closures. If the list is exhausted, Spring Break dates and/or Saturdays would be considered. Optional teacher workdays are Nov 25, Dec 21 and Jun 11. Feb 15 is shown as a teacher workday, not labeled Presidents Day. MLK Day and Memorial Day are red 'State Employees Legal Holiday' days, unnamed on the grid. Juneteenth (Jun 18) falls after the last day.
