Beaufort County School District (BCSD) understands that the district calendar impacts many key stakeholders, including educators, students, families, businesses, and community members. As such, BCSD is requesting the public's feedback regarding the potential 2028-29 academic calendar developed based on initial holistic input from educators.
Please know that the final calendars have not yet been decided. As such, your feedback and input are essential!
Keep in mind, BCSD must adhere to the following legal state guidelines when designing the academic calendar:
• The calendar must have 190 days with 180 being student instructional days
• 10 days are for professional development
• Three days are for collegial planning based on educational standards
• No more than 2 days may be used for preparing classrooms
• The remaining 5 days may be used for teacher planning, academic plans, and parent conferences
• Three days may be allocated (not less than three hours) for staff development, teacher conferences, or for the purpose of administering end-of-semester and end-of-year examinations
• At least three days within the school calendars are to be used as make-up days
Please let us know which options you prefer for the 2028-2029 year.
