KISD 16-17 School Calendar
The 16-17 School Calendar is available on the KISD website. The calendar has a few changes this year due to House Bill 2610. Here is some brief information:
House Bill 2610 changes a few things about school calendars across the state.
- New language in the bill requires each district to provide 75,600 minutes of instruction versus the old language required districts to have 180 days of instruction
- Allows districts to add minutes as necessary to compensate for lost minutes due to extreme circumstances that lead to school closure (such as bad weather days)
KISD calendar will have 76,485 minutes - TEA requires 75,600 minutes. With the extra time, the school district would not have to make up 2 days of instruction if it is lost to bad weather.
With the change of minutes, our school times will change as well!
16-17 School Hours: 7:55 a.m. - 3:10 p.m.
Track Update
I will send out an update on the specifics later this week along with the cost.
