No School Monday Throughout Most of the Bay Area

Public school students throughout most of the Tampa Bay area can look forward to a long weekend as Presidents Day nears.

Public schools in Pasco, Sarasota, Pinellas and Manatee counties are all shuttering their doors in observance of the national holiday, according to the individual districts’ calendars.

Presidents Day is the last day off for students in some counties for a while, but Spring Break is right around the corner. Here is a breakdown of the next days off by county:

Manatee

Students will be released early on March 11 and Spring Break kicks off on March 27. It runs through April 5. The first day back at class after the break is April 6.

Pasco

Students here go on spring break starting March 16 and don’t return to class until March 24, following a March 23 teacher planning day.

Pinellas

Students here have March 16 off as the third quarter ends. Spring Break runs March 30 through April 3.

Sarasota

The next day off after Presidents Day for Sarasota kids is March 9 when Spring Break kicks off. The respite lasts through March 13.
