Alameda Unified School District Announces 2016-17 Calendar

Alameda, CA --- The Board of Education for the Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) approved the calendar for the 2016-17 school year at a public board meeting last week.

Under the calendar, which the board approved 5-0, the first day of school is August 22, 2016. The last day of school is June 8, 2017.

There will be no school during Thanksgiving week, and the Winter Holiday Break is from December 22, 2016 to January 6, 2017. Spring Break is from April 3 to April 7, 2017.

The calendar was developed by a committee composed of staff from AUSD and members of the Alameda Education Association (AEA), which is the union that represents AUSD teachers and counselors.

After meeting several times, the committee agreed on two potential calendars. AEA members then voted on the calendars. At its Feb. 9 meeting, the Board of Education approved the same calendar that the majority of AEA voters had selected.

The new calendar is on the AUSD website.
