JEFFERSON COUNTY — The Jefferson County Board of Education at its Jan. 22 meeting approved the 2015-2016 school calendar, and students will approve.
The calendar gives students the entire week of Thanksgiving off, which means no classes Nov. 23-27.
Students will dismiss Dec. 18 for winter break and won’t return until Jan. 12, 2016.
There will also be a four-day weekend in February 2016, as Friday, Feb. 12 is a professional development day for teachers and Monday, Feb. 15 is Presidents’ Day.
The first day of the 2015-2016 school year will be Aug. 6, and the last day is May 27. May 31 is designated as a weather makeup day.
