In a nutshell
Over 12,000 community members responded to a district-administered survey, where the majority voted on the now-approved calendar options, preferring the earlier start dates and fewer non-consecutive days off, Chief Communications Officer Sonya Cole-Hamilton said.
“Some specific comments [from the survey] were that the schedule benefits staff and students with less random days off and more cluster days together, and the breaks make it easier to give students a time out,” she said.
The details
Mirroring the earlier start date of the 2024-25 school calendar, the following two school years will begin Aug. 11 and end before the Memorial Day holiday on May 21, 2026, and May 26, 2027.
Thanksgiving break and spring break will be a week long, starting on Monday and ending on Friday. Winter and fall breaks start on Friday and end toward the middle of the week, according to the calendars.
Additional thing
There are five student holidays throughout the calendars that are either planning and data or staff development days, per the calendars.
