Looking for last year’s calendars? Visit the 2017–18 edition of this guide. Or, looking for a calendar that’s not listed here? ESC Region 20 (based in San Antonio) has links to more public school districts, including public charter schools. We may also have some readers in ESC Region 13 (based in Austin), which lists ISDs and public charter schools within its boundaries.
What do you notice from this list of schools? For one thing, our region has so many school districts. Also, some calendars have longer school years and start earlier than they used to. Several local ISDs (marked with *) have District of Innovation status, which (among other things) gives them more flexibility in setting school calendars. Edgewood ISD, Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, and South San Antonio ISD recently joined the ranks of local DOIs.
What determines the length of the school year? HB 2610 (84 R) set the school year at a minimum of 75,600 minutes. Final say lies with each school board, and you can take your concerns to them, at meetings or on election day.
