Each year, the Board of Education reviews and approves the school calendar, including holidays, for the upcoming school year. The calendar is developed in accordance with the requirements set forth by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and the district’s collective bargaining agreements.

For the 2027-28 school year, no significant changes are being proposed for either the traditional calendar, balanced calendar, or holidays.

The draft calendars include the following:

• Thursday, August 19, 2027 = Traditional Calendar First Day 1-8 

• Friday, August 20, 2027 = Traditional Calendar First Day K

• Wednesday, July 28, 2027 = Balanced Calendar First Day 1-8 

• Thursday, July 29, 2027 = Balanced Calendar First Day K

The State of Illinois has allotted dollar-for-dollar matching grants of up to $50,000 per district for the FY 2027 School Maintenance Project Grant application round. Eligible applicants—including School Districts, Cooperative High Schools, Vocational Centers, and Special Education Cooperatives—may apply. While there is no limit on the total project cost, grant awards are capped at $50,000 and must be used exclusively for the maintenance or upkeep of educational buildings and structures. If awarded, the proceeds will offset maintenance and Health Life Safety project costs.
