If you are interested in providing a proposed 2027-28 School Calendar or to provide suggestions, please keep in mind that the deadline to do so is this Friday, Jan. 16th.
The original message posted on Dec. 8th is below:
Unalaska Community Members,
UCSD School Board will adopt a 2027-28 School Calendar in February. As per BP and AR6111, staff and community input on the development of school calendars is wanted.
DEED requires a school calendar with a minimum of 175 student contact days.
The negotiated agreement requires 189 teacher contract days, which includes:
-6 paid legal holidays
-5 in-service days
-professional Work Days (which will include 2 full days/semester for parent-teacher conferences)
Below is the url to a folder that contains a template, Sample A and Sample B.
If you would like to submit a proposed calendar, please download and use a copy of the template provided as an excel document or googlesheet to create your own version. As you total days for each month, you will notice that a running total for inservice days, student days and teacher days will auto calculate to the right of the calendar.
Submit your proposed calendar(s) to myself (khanisch@ucsd.net) and Rachel Vernon (rvernon@ucsd.net) no later than Jan. 16, 2025. Only those calendars that meet all requirements for days will be accepted. Calendars that do meet requirements will be discussed during the Feb. 2nd work session and acted upon during the Feb. 16th regular session meeting.
Thank you,
Kim Hanisch, Supt.

Upcoming Board Meeting Schedule Changes:
Although Board Policy identifies our meeting dates and times as 7:00 pm on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month, due to various circumstances the following changes are needed:
-Friday, Jan. 16th, 5:00 pm will be a Special Meeting. This added meeting is necessary for the on-going superintendent search.
-Tuesday, Jan. 20th: Meeting is cancelled due to the lack of Board Member and Superintendent availability.
-Tuesday, Feb. 3rd: This is the 1st Tuesday of the month and will stay as scheduled. It will be a combination of work session and regular session agenda items.
Additionally, there will be Special Meetings during the week of Jan. 19th for Supt. Virtual Interviews and during the week of Feb. 13th for On-Site Supt. Interviews. More information regarding these meetings will be posted following the Jan. 16th meeting.
