This document outlines the academic calendar for the 2026-2027 school year, detailing attendance days, teacher workdays, holidays, and breaks. Its purpose is to provide a structured operational schedule for the institution rather than articulating strategic goals, priorities, or a long-term vision.

The Del Mar Union School District's strategic plan, "Destination 2028!", is guided by four key levers, with a particular focus on fostering a "Responsive and Caring Culture." The plan aims to create safe, inclusive learning environments where students and adults feel valued, supported, and deeply connected. Key objectives include developing students as "Global Citizens" who value diverse perspectives and make positive impacts, and cultivating "Emotional Integrity" through managing emotions, resolving conflict, and building strong relationships. The plan is underpinned by a vision of "the unrelenting pursuit of the extraordinary school experience" and a mission "to ignite genius and empower students to advance the world."

The meeting included a welcome address by the Coordinator of Assessment, Data and Integrated Technology. Key discussion topics centered on the Consolidated Application, with information shared regarding Title I, Title II, Title III, and Title IV components. The committee subsequently voted to approve the Consolidated Application. The session concluded with a roundtable discussion and no public comments.
