Calendars for Henry County schools under review

Drafts of Henry County public school calendars for 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 have been released for public review and comment until May 8.

The Board of Education is expected to take action on them at its May 11 meeting. Key dates are similar for both years, with the first day of class scheduled for the first Wednesday in August and the last day the Friday before Memorial Day. There will be a week-long break in September and anotherÂ for Thanksgiving. Students will be dismissed the Wednesday before Christmas and not return to class until the second Monday of January. Presidents Day will start a week-long winter break in February, and a week of spring break is on the calendar for April.

Both calendars call for 178 student days, with three more early release days for students in kindergarten through ninth grade than in previous years.
