Additional Days School Year (ADSY) Program
-
San Marcos CISD Families,
In January, the SMCISD Board of Trustees approved the 2026-2027 academic calendar at their meeting on January 20, 2026.
In late February, during their monthly call with Texas Superintendents, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) shared with SMCISD a program called the Additional Days School Year (ADSY) program. This program could accelerate academic progress for our students and provide additional funding to SMCISD.
SMCISD presented this information to our school board at the regular scheduled board meeting on Monday, March 23. You can view the presentation in full by watching Monday’s meeting beginning at the 49:20 minute marker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJi-uupWsYI.
Where will the additional funding go?
Summer Learning in SMCISD is currently 100% funded by local dollars and the district’s local budget. If the district were to add six additional days to the 2026-2027 academic year, the state would fully fund our summer learning program for the Summer of 2027 and every summer moving forward, as long as the school board approves a 175-day academic calendar each year.
SMCISD is happy to answer any questions you may have, but to learn more about the ADSY program, click here: https://tea.texas.gov/academics/learning-support-and-programs/additional-days-school-year
ADSY FAQ
-
Why does ADSY matter?
Currently, SMCISD pays for summer learning programs entirely out of its own budget.
If they adopt ADSY:
- The state would fully fund summer learning starting in Summer 2027.
- This funding continues every year as long as the district keeps a 175-day school calendar.
That could free up local money for other school needs.
