SUBJECT: District School Calendar, 2009-2010

Prior to the beginning of every fiscal year, each district school board is required to adopt an annual

calendar to be observed by all schools under the board’s jurisdiction. Rule 6A-10.019, FAC, stipulates

that the approved calendar must be filed with the Department of Education and describes the dates to be

included in the school calendar. Also, Section 1001.42(4)(f), Florida Statutes, sets the start date beginning

with the 2007-08 school year as no earlier than 14 days before Labor Day.

To assist your district in complying with Rule 6A-10.019, FAC, the Bureau of Education Information and

Accountability Services is responsible for collecting these calendars. Please fax (850-245-9097) or

forward a copy of your official school calendar(s) for 2009-10 by

May 29, 2009,

to the Bureau of

Education Information and Accountability Services, 325 West Gaines Street, Room 852, Tallahassee,

Florida 32399-0400, Attention: Bethany Wester.

Enclosed is ESE Form 377, District School Calendar Information Supplement, which provides a format

for reporting certain important dates that may not be specified on your district’s calendar(s). Complete

this supplement and return it with a copy of your official school calendar(s). Please include all year-round

school names, tracks, and dates with intersession periods.
