Continuing a trend of staying planned a year in advance, the Richardson ISD board of trustees approved its 174-day 2025-26 academic calendar at its Feb. 22 meeting.
“We are working a year in advance to ensure that our community and our staff have an opportunity to plan and make arrangements for their family accordingly,” Superintendent Tabitha Branum said at the meeting.
The details
Beginning Aug. 12, the first semester of the academic calendar will end on Dec. 19. After a winter break from Dec. 22-Jan. 2, the second semester will kick off on Jan. 6 and wrap up on May 22 for students.
