Frisco ISD families can start planning the 2027-28 school year: the district's calendar committee has sent trustees a proposal that puts the first day of school on Aug. 11, 2027, and the last on May 19, 2028.
The Board of Trustees is scheduled to vote on the recommendation at its regular meeting Monday, Nov. 16, according to the posted agenda. The proposal was developed by the District Advisory Council's Instructional Calendar Committee, which draws up a calendar recommendation each year, and the administration is asking the board to adopt it as presented.
Days off in the proposal
The draft student calendar marks these dates as no-school days:
- Sept. 6-7, 2027, the Labor Day weekend Monday and the Tuesday after it
- Oct. 8 and Oct. 11-12, 2027
- Nov. 22-26, 2027, the full week of Thanksgiving
- Dec. 20-31, 2027, winter break, with students also out Jan. 3-4, 2028
- Jan. 17, 2028
- Feb. 18 and Feb. 21, 2028
- March 13-17, 2028, spring break
- April 14, 2028
April 17 and 18, 2028, are set aside as bad-weather make-up days. The calendar also lists school hours of 7:45 a.m. to 3:10 p.m. for elementary campuses, 8:25 a.m. to 3:50 p.m. for middle and intermediate schools and 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for high schools, and notes that all religious holidays will be excused absences.
Campus security
Trustees will also discuss findings from intruder detection audits, which the Texas School Safety Center has carried out at campuses across the state this school year under a directive from Gov. Greg Abbott. The posted memo for that item does not include the results. A closed session earlier in the evening lists deliberation on the audit findings.
The board will also review a draft renewal of the district's District of Innovation plan, which lets districts exempt themselves from certain state requirements.
