Summary

To accommodate a new prom venue, the board swapped two May 2026 dates: May 1 becomes an early-dismissal Act 80 day and May 15 becomes a full day of school; the motion passed 8–0.

The North Pocono School District Board of Education amended the 2025–26 school calendar on July 16 to accommodate the high school prom. The board changed Friday, May 1, 2026, to an early-dismissal Act 80 day and changed Friday, May 15, 2026, to a full day of school. The motion passed unanimously, 8–0.

District officials said the swap was necessary because the prom will be held at a new venue and May 1 was the date when the district’s preferred, most secure room was available. The superintendent said the change would be posted to notify the public.

Next steps: the district will update and publish the amended 2025–26 calendar to inform families and staff of the change.
