Next year’s school calendar still uncertain (Updated)
2 school committees adopted calendars that convert some religious holidays to Professional Development Days. But a complaint by Algonquin's teachers union paused a 3rd vote and is prompting the Superintendent to revisit the issue
In December, the Regional and Southborough School Committees voted to adopt the school calendar for 2026-27. The majority of members voted to schedule Professional Development Days on three religious holidays.
The Northborough School Committee failed to adopt a calendar due to a split tie vote among the four attending members. The Committee was scheduled to vote again at their January meeting. According to the Community Advocate, that effort was put on hold after the district received complaints from the Algonquin Regional Teachers Association.
I’m sharing information from the CA’s story, with a detailed look back at the discussion and votes in November. Read the full article → from Next year’s school calendar still uncertain (Updated)
