Spring Calendar at a glance
District Calendars Approved for 2020-21 and 2021-22
Following two rounds of community input, trustees approved district calendars for the next two school years – 2020-21 and 2021-22 – based on the most popular version of the calendar, Option C, as voted by community members and approved by the District Education Improvement Council.
Next school year, 2020-21, will begin on Aug. 20, 2020, and end on May 28, 2021. The following year, 2021-22, will largely mirror the same calendar style. That year will feature an Aug. 18, 2021, start date and May 26, 2022, end date. Please note that though the 2021-22 calendar has been adopted, it is subject to change if the need arises.
Both calendars can be viewed at www.nisdtx.org/calendars.
Long-Range Planning Committee Recommends Calling Bond Election
The district’s Long-Range Planning Committee, composed of more than 40 community and staff members, presented the Board of Trustees the work of the committee over the last six months. The LRPC recommended the Board call a bond election for May 2, 2020, that would total $936 million. The majority of the bond would fund new schools, replacement schools and campus expansions to provide more room for a rapidly growing student population.
Specifically, the committee’s recommendation consists of two elementary schools and a middle school. Hatfield Elementary School and Seven Hills Elementary School as well as Pike Middle School would be designated for replacement campuses. Additionally, Northwest High School would receive an expansion and an extensive renovation under the proposal. Nance Elementary School would also receive an expansion.
