Shifting instructional commitments away from the hottest months insulates the school year against predictable climate strain.
Success now hinges on localized operational execution. School divisions must coordinate infrastructure repairs during the April-May dry interlude, while textbook and module logistics must arrive at division offices before late May. With the calendar timeline firmly set, families, educators, and institutional planners across the country can prepare for a predictable, safe, and productive school year.
