Leander ISD’s 2022-23 school year will begin Aug. 17 and end May 26, 2023. The school board approved the final calendar Jan. 27.
Unlike the current calendar, the next school year will not include regular early release Wednesdays.
Chief Academic Officer Matt Bentz said community survey data about the calendar showed unanimous support for providing time for staff development and teacher planning time. However, campus administrators and the community preferred full days rather than early release days. The district began adding early release days to the school calendar in November 2020 amid the challenges of teaching students both in person and online.
“We have attempted to strike a balance by building in four additional professional development days, which actually has meant less students days,” Bentz said.
