How to use this source tracker
State pages are a starting point for planning, but the final school calendar is often approved by a local school board. Start with the source link, then check your district for teacher workdays, early release days, emergency make-up days, and local holidays.
For large states, a statewide calendar reference may not match a major district such as New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami-Dade, Houston, or Dallas. Use the notes below to decide when district verification is especially important.
Verification checklist
- 1.Confirm the first and last day of school.
- 2.Check winter break, spring break, and Thanksgiving recess.
- 3.Look for teacher workdays and student holidays.
- 4.Review make-up day rules before booking travel.
