Note: The 2027-2028 Student Academic Calendar posted in the district's Academic Calendars folder (with an accessible text version that lists the same dates). The School Board adopted it unanimously on June 9, 2026 (agenda item 13.4, 'Approval of the Academic Calendar for the School Year 2027-2028', per the meeting minutes on the district's Granicus board portal); the posted PDF is identical to the calendar attached to that agenda item, although the PDF itself carries no adoption statement. The district site shows a bot check; the calendar was found through the site's document listing and downloaded from the district's file host. The calendar states 180 student days (86 + 94). Nov. 22-23 and Dec. 20-21 are hurricane make-up days if needed, so school may be held on them. Winter Break (all district sites closed) is Dec. 20-31; Jan. 3 (teachers return, record day) and Jan. 4 (district inservice) have no students, and students return Jan. 5. Oct. 11 and Mar. 20 are record days with no school for students. Professional learning early release for all students on Oct. 27 and Feb. 9; early release for all schools May 24-26 (MS/HS exams). Elementary-only early release on Oct. 1, Oct. 22, Mar. 10 and Apr. 13; high school early release Dec. 15-17. Memorial Day (May 29) is after the last day of school. The first-quarter count printed next to Oct. 8 is 42, but the summary box and the accessible version say 43, which matches the grid.
