Davis school board approves 2026–27 calendar on first reading, asks administration to rebalance semesters
Summary
On first reading the board approved the proposed 2026–27 school calendar with a rider directing administration to revisit semester balance; the second reading and final approval are expected in December.
The Davis School Board voted to approve the 2026–27 school calendar on first reading and directed administration to re-examine semester balance before the second reading in December.
Board member Miss Barber moved to adopt the calendar on first reading "with the recommendation that we revisit the semester balance as discussed in workshop." Miss Stevens seconded the motion; the board approved it by voice vote.
During discussion Miss Barber said, "I think I like the idea of moving the calendar forward," but emphasized the purpose of a two-step approval so stakeholders could review details covered at the earlier workshop. Miss Powell asked for clarification that administration would revisit options and bring a revised calendar back for the December meeting if needed; the board confirmed that further changes could be made before final adoption.
The vote recorded in the meeting was by voice; no roll-call tally was provided in the transcript. The second reading and final vote are scheduled for the board’s December meeting.
