Alvin ISD will keep its fall break
Despite the fact that Alvin ISD, like every other school district in Texas, will start school August 27, they will keep their fall break. This means that they will have a break October 1-5, and won’t get out of school next year until June 5.
Alvin ISD will keep its fall break
Week off in October means next school year won’t be ending until June 5
– reported by the Houston Chronicle
The Alvin school district has decided to keep its week-long fall break holiday for the 2007-08 school year.
All school districts in the state will start the next school year on Aug. 27 because of a statewide mandate. This school year, classes in the Alvin school district began Aug. 9 and will end May 24.
For next school year, the district had been considering two calendar options. One included a fall break from Oct. 1-5, and the other did not.
The school board decided to go with the fall break option after a majority of the district’s employees voted in favor of it, district spokeswoman Shirley Brothers said.
The calendar that’s been approved includes the reduction of Thanksgiving break from a week to three days, and the elimination of the day off the Monday after Easter. The school year won’t end until June 5.
