The Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) has set its academic calendar from 2025-2028, with the first school days in August and last days in May. The scheduling process has previously faced challenges, as families have pressed the school board for timely approval to manage childcare needs. Collaboration between the district and teachers union is crucial for calendar agreements to align with payroll for contracted workers. Moving forward, both parties aim to establish two- or three-year calendars to streamline planning and reduce last-minute revisions.
The school calendar was a point of contention in the past, with families urging the school board to vote on the calendar sooner so that they could make summer camp and child care arrangements for their children.
Arranging the school calendar is no simple matter. It requires agreement from the teachers union and the district, ensuring the payroll system matches up with the school calendar.
