2024-2025 Approved District Calendar

Through collaboration with parents, District administrators, and representatives from all 15 Frenship campuses, the Frenship ISD Calendar Committee created two calendar drafts for the 2024-2025 school year. Parents, staff, and community members were able to vote on the drafts through a public survey in January.

The survey results showed 75% of those who voted, preferred calendar Draft B while only 25% preferred Draft A. After careful consideration of the feedback received from staff, parents, and the community, along with the results of the public survey, the Calendar Committee recommended the approval of Draft B. During the February 19th school board meeting, the Frenship ISD Board of Trustees approved Draft B as the 2024-2025 District Academic Calendar.
