During our September 8, 2026, board meeting, the Osceola County School Board approved the following revision to the 2026-2027 academic calendar:
If the School District meets the minimum requirements in applicable state law for instructional minutes for students, then the School District shall provide the following adjustments:
โข If up to two (2) Emergency Make-Up Days for the 2026-27 school year are not used, then the last student day shall adjust up to two (2) workdays earlier within the academic calendar (May 26, 2027, to May 24, 2027).
โข Early Release Days (Wednesday Bell Schedule) on the last student days before Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Breaks during the 2026-2027 school year (Friday, November 20, 2026; Friday, December 18, 2026; and Thursday, March 11, 2027).
The second revision is specific to Professional and Technical High School (PATHS), which operates on a unique 4x4 block schedule for purposes of alignment to course scheduling at the neighboring Osceola Technical College (OTECH). The Osceola County School Board approved a revision to the 2026-2027 Professional and Technical High School (PATHS) academic calendar as follows to ensure that required seat time would be met in the event for the need of emergency make-up days:
โข End of Quarter 1 from Friday, October 9, 2026, to Wednesday, October 14, 2026 (two school days)
โข End of Quarter 3 from Thursday, March 11, 2027, to Tuesday, March 23, 2027 (two school days)
These calendar changes have no impact on current teacher/student holidays, nor teacher workday dates.
