What this document actually says
This policy governs how Reed Union School District creates school calendars each year. Last revised September 13, 2022, it requires the Board to adopt calendars that meet legal requirements and community needs while aligning with employee contracts. Each calendar must show start/end dates, holidays, staff development days, minimum days, and vacations. The district must provide a minimum of 175 instructional days per year (or 180 days once funding targets are met). Staff development days don't count as instructional days. Parents must receive notice of minimum days and staff development days at the school year's start, and at least one month's advance notice if additional days are added. The Board decides whether schools stay open when used as polling places on election days.
What this means for your family
You'll receive a calendar at the start of each school year showing all minimum days and staff development days when students don't attend or have shorter schedules. If the district adds extra minimum days or staff-free days during the year, you'll get at least one month's notice. Your child is guaranteed at least 175 days of instruction annually, with a goal of 180 days as funding increases.
