Draft MASC resolution on statewide school calendar study
The committees discussed sponsoring a resolution through the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC) requesting a state-level study on school calendar configurations. The proposed study would examine how various calendar models across the state address the 180-day and 900/990-hour statutory requirements, vacation schedules, and religious observances.
- A resolution sponsored by five school committees across at least two divisions goes directly to the MASC Delegate Assembly.
- MASC resolution submission deadline is June 1, 2026.
- Members recommended drafting a clear preamble explaining that the intent is to collect state data rather than mandate changes to local vacations or school breaks.
Outcome: Committees deferred formal voting to allow drafting of an explanatory preamble, with individual committees planning to vote in April 2026.
