Draft School Calendars Available for Public Review

At the May 18 Board of Education Meeting, Director of Teaching & Learning Dr. Tim Ridder presented draft calendars for the 2027–2028 and 2028–2029 school years. The draft calendars were developed through a collaborative committee process that included feedback from School Accountability Committees (SACs), building leadership teams, administrators, and district leadership.

The calendars are available for public viewing and review: 

2027-2028 School Year

2028-2029 School Year

If you have any feedback or suggestions for the draft calendars, please contact Deb Ginesta (dginesta@ssk12.org). The Board of Education is tentatively planning to adopt the calendars at the June 22 board meeting.

Dr. Ridder shared that feedback on the district’s current calendar structure has generally been positive, particularly regarding teacher collaboration and professional development time, transition days for kindergarten, sixth-grade, and ninth-grade students, and longer holiday breaks. The committee also discussed ongoing challenges related to high school semester balance, the timing of breaks, and the impact of teacher work and professional development days on families.

The proposed draft calendars largely maintain the structure used in recent years in order to provide consistency for students, staff, families, and the broader community. Board members also expressed support for adopting two-year calendars to help provide additional long-term planning stability for families and staff.
