Español

December 14, 2009—The CFISD Board of Trustees approved the Calendar Committee’s recommendation for the 2010-2011 instructional calendar during its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, Dec. 14.

HB1 mandated that instruction for the school year may not begin before the fourth week in August. For the 2010-2011 instructional year, the earliest start date is Aug. 23.

In the fall of 2009, a 35-member district calendar committee was organized with broad-based representation, including teachers, parents, campus administrators, paraprofessionals, ancillary personnel and district-level administrators.

The committee held three meetings to receive information about HB1 and evaluate public input received from the district web site before arriving at a consensus for the following calendar recommendation to be presented to the Board of Trustees:

• students begin school on Monday, Aug. 23, 2010;

• Labor Day, Sept. 6, is a student/staff holiday;

• the calendar has a three-day Thanksgiving holiday (Nov. 24-26);

• a two-week Winter Break is scheduled for students (Dec. 20 – Jan. 4) and campus staff members (Dec. 20 – Jan. 2);

• Spring Break is scheduled for March 14-18, 2011;

• the school year will end on June 1, 2011 ; and

• Dec. 20 and 21, 2010, Feb. 21, 2011 and June 2, 2011 are designated as inclement weather makeup days.
