The OCBE has approved the calendar for the 2023-24 school year with the first day of school being August 9, 2023. This year, we are adding six early release days. These early release days will give teachers and staff time to complete work and we can still count the day towards the KDE student attendance requirement. School will be dismissed two hours earlier than normal on these days, which occur on Fridays or the day before an extended break.
Major breaks for the 2023-24 school year, previously approved by the OCBE are:
Fall break: October 23, 2023 - October 27, 2023
Winter break: December 18, 2023 - January 1, 2024
Spring break: April 1, 2024 - April 5, 2024
The last day of school, barring any inclement weather days, will be May 24, 2024.

So stupid that Veteran’s Day isn’t a holiday, but Oaks Day is.
Ken Horn
Thank you for moving make up days to the end of the calendar.

The Monday after spring break is a head scratcher. FAQ says due to solar eclipse to spend either families....um what about working parents and isn't this passing up a huge teaching opportunity?
Top fanCindy Harris Due to the timing of the eclipse, and many families planning to travel for best viewing, this was the best choice.

I believe there were also safety concerns with the timing. Eclipse glasses are an extra expense for the district. It was a challenge during the last eclipse.
Top fanI was so glad when they got rid of the 2 hour early releases. Why are they coming back? 
Leslie Dumitru Heffelmire
Katie Gregg Sieboldt it's stated in the post!
Top fanLeslie Dumitru Heffelmire I guess I mean it was fine to not have them for several years, so why add them back now?
Andy Pflueger
Katie Gregg Sieboldt my guess (and this is strictly a guess) is some of the training is only offered during a school day and they needed to submit for early dismissals to accommodate that.
Top fanKatie Gregg Sieboldt Teachers requested the time for collaboration.
Top fanSuzanne Hartlage Hundley Are they doing the early release instead of the full teacher work days where the students got the day off, or in addition to? Thanks!
Top fanKatie Gregg Sieboldt In addition to. There are only 3 TWD next year.
Top fanKatie Gregg Sieboldt The ERD are all attached to long weekends or breaks or on a Friday. No more floating random Wednesdays.
