Academic Calendar Input

Please know that the final calendars have not yet been decided. As such, your feedback and input are essential!

Keep in mind, BCSD must adhere to the following legal state guidelines when designing the academic calendar:

• The calendar must have 190 days with 180 being student instructional days
• 10 days are for professional development
• Three days are for collegial planning based on educational standards
• No more than 2 days may be used for preparing classrooms
• The remaining 5 days may be used for teacher planning, academic plans, and parent conferences
• Three days may be allocated (not less than three hours) for staff development, teacher conferences, or for the purpose of administering end-of-semester and end-of-year examinations
• At least three days within the school calendars are to be used as make-up days

Please let us know which options you prefer for both the 2026-27 year and the 2027-28 year.
