The Wabash District 348 School Board has approved the school calendar for the 2026–2027 school year.
During last week’s meeting, Superintendent Dr. Chuck Bleyer outlined the proposed schedule. The school year will begin with two Teacher Institute days on August 12th and 13th, with the first day of student attendance set for Friday, August 14th.
Bleyer said the remainder of the calendar closely mirrors the district’s current schedule.
He did note one date of interest in May. The calendar currently lists May 21st as a Teacher Institute Day, but that date may change. Bleyer explained he has been in contact with county emergency management officials about planning a countywide emergency training exercise. The drill would allow first responders to practice evacuation procedures and coordinated response efforts, similar to an exercise held several years ago. If finalized, the district would adjust the calendar accordingly.
Following discussion, the board voted to adopt the 2026–2027 school calendar.
Bleyer also reported the district was forced to use four snow days during last month’s winter storm, which now pushes the last scheduled student attendance day to May 27th. Bleyer said students will attend school four additional days as a result.
