Editor’s note: This article has been updated to reflect that a final vote on the calendars will take place next week.
Thousands of Fulton County families soon will be able to plan ahead once the school board finalizes the academic calendars for the years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025.
The board on Tuesday voted 6-0 to tentatively approve the schedules, which include a week off at Thanksgiving, a couple of weeks off for the winter holidays and a weeklong spring break.
The 2023-2024 draft calendar includes 175 instructional days, while the following year includes 177. The board is set to give final approval to the schedules next week when they appear on a consent agenda, a list of routine or procedural items that are approved in a batch with one vote.
Next year’s calendar calls for classes to start Aug. 7.
In October, when some had pushed for a fall break, students would be off for three days, from Oct. 9-11, 2023.
The last day of classes for the 2023-2024 school year would be on May 23.
For the 2024-2025 school year, the first day of school is planned for Aug. 5, 2024, and the last day of classes would be on May 22, 2025.
Teachers would get a two-day fall break on Oct. 14 and 15, 2024, and then return for a teacher workday on Oct. 16. Students are scheduled to be off from Oct. 14-16, 2024.
