The 2026-27 schedule and guidance document for hosting School Improvement Days and the protocol for canceling a School Improvement Day are included in the following update from the KSDE accreditation and design team. 

2026-27 schedule and guidance document for hosting School Improvement Days  

2026-2027 School Improvement Days Schedule (dates and systems are finalized): Find your system’s School Improvement Day date and SAVE THE DATE now. Regardless of whether a service center or another system in your cohort is hosting, this is the date of your School Improvement Day, so mark your calendars accordingly.  

Hosting a School Improvement Day Guidance Document: You only need to read through this document if your system is interested in hosting your cohort’s 2026-27 School Improvement Day. It outlines the process to submit your intent to host and the expectations/requirements/cost agreements a system must agree to and have in place to host a School Improvement Day.    

Both of these resources are posted prominently on the Accreditation webpage (bookmark if you haven’t done so already). If you have any questions regarding the 2026-27 schedule or the “Hosting an SI Day” resource, contact Jay Scott, jay.scott@ksde.gov.  

Canceling a School Improvement Day protocol  

During this season of unpredictable weather, we wanted to remind everyone of our protocol for cancelling a School Improvement Day. Whether your system can’t make your assigned day due to unforeseen circumstances, or the host site is closed for any reason, here is the protocol we’ll follow.   

Contact Jay Scott, jay.scott@ksde.gov, with questions.
