Katy ISD Board of Trustees Approves 2026-2027 Instructional Calendar

KATY, TX [January 27, 2025] – At this month’s Board meeting, Katy ISD’s Board of Trustees approved the instructional calendar for the 2026-2027 school year. Key dates from the calendar include: 

  • First Day of School – Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026 
  • Last Day of School for Seniors – Friday, May 14, 2027 
  • Last Day of School – Thursday, May 20, 2027 

As a District of Innovation, Katy ISD is able to incorporate flexible scheduling into its calendar, most notably starting the school year ahead of the traditional late-August start date. The approved calendar also reflects a balanced approach to instruction, including 83 instructional days in the fall semester and 89 instructional days in the spring semester, as well as district holidays for Independence Day, Labor Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Memorial Day. The District will continue providing a full week off for Thanksgiving, two weeks for Winter Holiday and New Year’s, as well as a full week for Spring Break.  

The board also approved an amendment to the instructional calendar for the 2025-2026 school year, incorporating new guidance from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) regarding the use of flex days. The approved change retains the flex day option for staff while allowing the district to count all applicable professional development waiver minutes toward the required instructional minutes.  

Earlier this school year, the District surveyed parents, students and staff seeking feedback on two calendar options. Katy ISD is grateful to the thousands of respondents who shared their input.
