The school calendar for the 2025-26 academic year was roughly founded by the school board of DA-Palm Beach County next year.
So from now on, which Palm Beach County has to wait for the school holidays for Şükran Day?
October 2 – Autumn Holiday
October 17 – This is a teacher working day that falls after the end of the first nine weeks and the students are also closed for this.
November 11 – Another teacher working day.
Then the gratitude break is coming. A break in this district took a long time all week. This is November 24-28.
Thanks to the shorter thanksgiving day, managers stated that student participation decreased and teacher participation is also. In addition, a shortened week is often not academically productive. Finally, some claim that the blessing of one week on the Day of Şükran is a good teacher recruitment tool.

Which rules manage the calendar?
According to state laws, the academic year should last 180 days or 900 hours.
The region is the biggest employer of the district and there are rules about calendar and payment employees. The state law says that the region cannot pay to people for the job they have not yet done (this is entering the game when it is time to negotiate and adopt a new school calendar. It can affect the payment times before or after and have the potential to create payment gaps for certain school employees).
