Montgomery ISD approves school calendar for 2026-27 semester

Below are other highlights for the updated academic calendar from MISD:

• Classes begin Aug. 12 and end May 27.
• Academic days are extended to 174 days compared to the previous 172.
• Fall break: An extended fall break for students and staff. Oct. 9 will be a staff work day and student holiday, followed by districtwide holidays for all students and staff Oct. 12-16.
• Spring break is set for March 15-19.
• Early release days are set at the conclusion of both the fall and spring semesters.

Superintendent Mark Ruffin emphasized how grateful the MISD board and educators are for the collaborative work the DAC provides every year.

“Developing an academic calendar requires balancing instructional priorities, student and staff needs, and state requirements,” Ruffin said. “The DAC carefully considered community feedback and delivered a calendar that reflects the voices of our stakeholders while keeping students at the center of every decision.”
