How we checked these dates

We read every date off the district's own calendar twice: once from the PDF's text and once from the image, cell by cell against its legend. Then we checked every date except the hurricane makeup marks, which only the color-coded calendar shows against the SJCSD Master School Calendar page and the SJCSD 2027-28 Master Calendar PDF. The other dates rest on the district's calendar alone.

Every weekday on this page matches its date. The district's printed day counts match our own count of its calendar. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.
