Thank you to the members of our Faculty Advisory, Student Advisory, and Community Advisory groups, as well as the various faculty groups that were assembled, for their time, thoughtful input, and commitment to the development of our 2027–2028 draft school calendars. Your work in developing the draft calendars and sharing calendar ideas, questions, and concerns among your respective peer groups has been invaluable throughout this process.

At the October 12, 2026, meeting of the Calhoun County Public Schools Board of Trustees, two draft calendars were presented, and explanations were provided regarding the development and considerations associated with each calendar.

The two draft Year-Round Modified calendars will now be shared with our community through the District website for review and online voting. The voting period will remain open until 12:00 a.m. on Monday, November 2, 2026.

Please note that both calendars must be identified as “Year-Round Modified” calendars because they begin before the third Monday in August, as required by state regulations.

We encourage our families, staff members, students, and community partners to review both calendar options and cast your vote during the voting period. Your voice is important as we work together to select a calendar that best supports teaching and learning, student success, and the needs of our entire school community.

Again, voting will end at 12:00 a.m. on Monday, November 2, 2026.

Midlands Be Smart

Calhoun County School District and Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department are dedicated to providing a safe learning environment both at school and at home. Because evidence strongly suggests that secure firearm storage is an essential component to any effective strategy to keep schools and students safe, Calhoun County School District and Calhoun County Sheriff's Department are asking adults to follow the principles of Be SMART. Be SMART is an acronym which encourages all adults, including gun owners, to:

S- Secure all guns in your home and vehicles (securing means unloading and locking guns and storing the ammunition separately)

M- Model responsible behavior around guns

A- Ask about the presence of unsecured guns in other homes children visit

R- Recognize the role of guns in suicide

T- Tell your peers to Be SMART

Because children and teens are curious and their developing brains have difficulty accurately assessing risk, it is an adult’s responsibility to keep their guns stored securely, so children and teens can’t access them.

It is also important to talk to your children about the importance of school safety.
