Board adopts a full two-week winter break for 2028–29
What happened
The board adopted the 2028–29 calendar with January 4 and 5, 2029 added as student holidays, creating a full two-week winter break. It also moved the Eid al-Fitr holiday from February 15 to February 14, 2029.
Why it matters to families
Families gain confirmed future holiday dates for planning. These changes apply to 2028–29, not the current school year.
The evidence
The September 22 board adopted the calendar 5–4 after passing the holiday amendments. Staff compensation was held harmless for the added winter-break days.
