The Fort Worth ISD school board on Jan. 30 approved the district’s 2024-25 academic year calendars. The vote was 8-0, with trustee Quinton “Q” Phillips absent.

The next school year begins Aug. 13 and ends May 22, 2025. 

Students will be in class for 173 days. 

Texas requires school districts to teach 75,600 minutes every year to receive funding. The new calendar has scheduled 77,850 minutes of instruction for the 2024-25 school year, according to district documents.
