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: Approved March 13, 2025; revised March 12, 2026. Last day of school, May 27, 2027, is a half day for students. The document marks Sept 7, Jan 18, Nov 25-27, Dec 21-Jan 1 and April 5-9 only as 'Holiday' and does not name Labor Day, MLK Day or Spring Break; Sept 7 and Jan 18 are entered as labor_day and mlk_day, and the April 5-9 week-long holiday is entered as the spring break. Feb 15, 2027 is a no-school teacher workday and is not labeled Presidents' Day (it is also the second weather makeup day), so presidents_day is left empty. Weather makeup days Jan 19, Feb 15, Mar 18 and Mar 19, 2027 are no school unless needed, and would be used in that order. May 31 (Memorial Day) and June 18 fall after the last day of school.
