Cy-Fair ISD’s board of trustees approved in a 6-0 vote the Districtwide Educational Improvement Council’s 2025-26 academic calendar recommendation at the Nov. 11 board meeting.

Officials said the recommendation was based on the best interest of students, the preferences of teachers and feedback from a community survey conducted in late October.
