Monday, April 20, 2026 was originally scheduled as a day off for students and teacher workday/professional development. April 20th will now be a regularly scheduled school day. Tuesday April 21, 2026, will now be the workday/professional development day for teachers with schools being closed for students.

Update for October 2, 2025

We will be streaming our school board meeting tonight on Facebook as we have done in the past. The stream will remain archived/active for 30 days prior to it being removed. We will still work on getting the stream switched over to YouTube for future meetings.

Plan Moving Forward - Streaming and Archiving of School Board Meetings:

Previously, our School Board meetings were both hosted and archived through Facebook Live. Facebook has changed their archiving policy. Now all new Facebook Live videos are automatically deleted from Facebook pages and profiles after 30 days.

We will be moving this service to our Google Workspace accounts through YouTube, which allows us to host the videos indefinitely. The School Board meetings will still be available to the public and live. However, we will still be linking to them on Facebook for public access.
