The Winlock School Board makes the decision on the adoption of the Winlock School calendar.

Winlock School Board Policy 2220 states:

In order to permit staff, students and parents to make plans for their own work and vacation schedules, the board will adopt a school calendar or calendars by June 1 of each year. Multiple calendars may be developed where some schools are on modified school calendars for the forthcoming school year. Following board action, staff, students, parents and community members will be advised of the school calendar(s).

At the May school board meeting the board voted to extend the date of the calendar adoption to June 30 and at the June 29 school board meeting the board voted to extend the date of the calendar adoption to July 30.
