We fetch this document again every day and compare it with the version we verified; if the district changes it, the dates here are read again.

Note: Document says Board Approved 1/24/24 (rev. 11/14/23). 1/11/27 is Professional Development (no school for students). 6/4/27 is a Minimum Day for all schools (last day). Elementary Parent Conferences 11/16-11/20/26 are marked on the grid, but the document does not say elementary students are out of school, and the November count of 15 student days includes those days, so they are not listed as days off. 1st semester 85 student days, 2nd semester 95. Cesar Chavez Holiday (4/9/27) falls inside Spring Recess. Christmas holidays 12/24-12/25, Classified Floater Holiday 12/30, New Year's Eve 12/31 and New Year's Day 1/1 all fall inside Winter Break.
