LHUSD - Work Session - 3-5-2026

The LHUSD Lake Havasu Schools governing board held a work session on March 5, 2026, primarily discussing the early release schedule for students and its impact on instructional time, teacher planning, and family logistics. The district reviewed historical context, current scheduling practices, and survey results from staff and families regarding preferences for early release days. Key points included the trade-offs between preserving teacher planning time through early release days and increasing student instructional hours by eliminating or reducing early release. Concerns were raised about the effects on transportation, after-school programs, student meal participation, and teacher attendance. No specific procurement actions, contract awards, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
