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 each one against the district's Calendars page and the district's events calendar.
Every weekday on this page matches its date. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.
