McKinney ISD board adopts 2023-24 calendar

Another difference is in December, he said. The winter break will start a little later, starting the holiday Dec. 22 and going through Jan. 8. It is something many of the neighboring districts are planning to do for their winter breaks as well, Cunningham said.

In addition to these changes, the calendar includes six dedicated teacher workdays before school starts, a teacher exchange day in October and another in May, and staff development days throughout the year.

In addition to the winter and spring breaks, student holidays include Sept. 4, Oct. 9, Nov. 20-24, Jan. 15, Feb. 16 and March 29. April 15 and 29 have been set aside as bad-weather days.

“I think this is a really good calendar that tries to take into consideration instruction and at the same time being respectful of holidays and giving everyone a break,” Cunningham said.

The calendar was adopted unanimously without discussion.
