In a move that has pleased many parents and students in Broward County, the School Board of Florida approved the 2023/24 school calendar at its meeting on December 13, 2022.
The first day of the new school year will be Monday, August 21, 2023, with the last day scheduled for Monday, June 10, 2024.
The approved calendar includes a week-long break for Thanksgiving, two full weeks for Winter Break, one week for Spring Break, and additional days off that reflect the diversity of the district.
The development of the calendar began in April 2022, with a survey being distributed to parents, teachers, staff, and community members in October 2022 to gather feedback on three proposed options.
The preferred option, as determined by the survey, was ultimately approved by the School Board.
Parents and students are encouraged to mark the first day of school on their calendars and prepare for a successful and productive school year.
