The Burlington School Board has unanimously approved the calendar for the 2024-2025 school year! For the first time, the CVSA has developed a regional calendar instead of doing it by county. This will help us align our calendars, better coordinate across the region, and meet the State laws for our technical centers that require us to have 175 common school days across the region. As a result, this year, there is very little opportunity for local decisions as we have committed as a region to much of the calendar already. You can access the calendar online or below; the biggest changes that are included in this regional calendar are:
- The first in-service day will be August 20th, with new staff orientation on August 19th.
- To recognize the days when many families are off for cultural and religious holidays, Yom Kippur, Diwali, and Eid are common days off next year.
- Due to the additional holidays, districts in our region committed to August 26th as the first day for students.
- Many districts have traditionally been in school on Indigenous Peoples Day, at the request of the Missisquoi people, to recognize and celebrate the day; we will be part of the regional decision to be in session.
- There is not a common day off in March after Town Meeting Day, so, in alignment with many of our regional districts we will hold spring conferences on March 4.
- The last day of school will be on or about June 12, 2025, depending on school closures.
