Austin ISD trustees approved the calendar for the 2024-25 school year during its regular voting Dec.14.

The final calendar incorporates community feedback requesting additional faith based and cultural observances and staff development days:

• This includes two additional student holidays/staff development days on Oct. 14 and Jan. 29 and an additional holiday for Diwali on Nov. 1.

It also pushes back spring break a week later, March 17-21, 2025, to ensure we’re aligned with Austin Community College for students who are dual-enrolled. 

The first day of class for students will be Aug. 20 and the last day of class will be May. 29, 2025. The total number of student instructional days is 169.

Background 

The District Calendar Task Force composed of families, staff and community partners developed two calendar options. These two versions were presented to the Austin ISD community for their feedback back in the beginning of November and were open for voting until December 1, 2023.

The results from the 2024-25 calendar survey indicated that 59% of the participants preferred calendar option B. This calendar option received 5,926 votes out of 10,039 of the total people that participated.
