Emergency closure days in Bengaluru

Bengaluru’s private schools mix Karnataka SSLC, CBSE, ICSE, and IB campuses along the IT corridor. BBMP neighbourhoods change faster than catchment lists, so admissions files often arrive from another city mid-year when a parent’s posting moves.

Fee conversations are in INR with NEP-aligned grade structures in some schools and older SSLC streams in others. One student record has to survive that mix without a second spreadsheet for the “international wing.” Local named facts include Karnataka SSLC, BBMP, NEP, INR. Instrument: official working-day exception on the holiday master. INR term fees with transport and after-school heads; NEP stage changes should not invent a second ledger. April academic year for most day schools; some IB campuses overlay a northern-hemisphere term that still has to share working days.

Transport, meals, and boarding need the same date. Otherwise finance and the gate disagree. Paid closures for contractors and staff are employment and vendor questions, not a software default. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
