At the beginning of the school year, due to the ongoing remediation at our campuses, we made the difficult decision to push the first day of school back one week. Texas Education Agency requires us to have 75,600 instructional minutes for the academic year. With the loss of two school days during the winter storm, we had enough instructional minutes allotted to cover one of those missed days. However, in order to make up the required additional minutes, the Board has voted to change Monday, February 17th, from a staff and student holiday to a regular school day across all campuses. The updated academic calendar that was approved at yesterday’s board meeting is attached below. Friday, February 14th, will remain a student holiday and a staff professional development day across the district.
