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: The document is a text-only list and does not say whether it is board-approved, so status is unknown. It does not name a spring break; the week of Mar 29-Apr 2, 2027 is listed as 'Out of Calendar Day, No School', so it is under days_off. Dec 23, 2026 is a no-student day just before winter break, and Jan 4, 2027 is a no-student day right after it. Oct 14, 2026 is listed as 'Teacher-Pupil-Parent Conference and Faculty Senate Day' under the start of the Third Month. The document does not say whether students attend, so it is left out of the no-school lists. Aug 19-25, 2026 are employee days before the students' first day on Aug 26. June 4-14, 2027 are staff-only days. Feb 15, 2027 is listed only as the last day of a school month, so it is not treated as a holiday. Presidents' Day is not shown as a holiday.
