Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25 board work session (meeting title dated October 13, 2026; metadata timestamp dated October 14) included an annual Head Start program information report and discussion of school-week and academic-calendar options. The 17-member schedule committee recommended retaining the traditional five-day week: eight members favored it, five favored a five-day hybrid, and none favored a four-day week. Trustees discussed student learning, family and childcare impacts, vulnerable students, employee hours and benefits, meal reimbursements, and possible targeted calendar adjustments. The transcript ends during discussion; no board vote on a schedule change is recorded. The Head Start report covered enrollment, attendance, health, disabilities, and family services, including a required nonfederal match estimated at more than $78,000 without a waiver. No procurement activity, contract actions, or purchasing decisions were identified.
