Get ready for the kids to have the week off next Thanksgiving because the School Board of Broward County voted to approve an extended Thanksgiving vacation.

Families that would like to plan a vacation or just spend the week relaxing can now do so because Broward County Public Schools will be closed the week of November 23 – 27, 2020.

That’s not all; the school board also announced that school would begin the 20/21 school year on Wednesday, August 19, 2020. The first day for teachers is Wednesday, August 12, 2020. The new school year calendar follows the current school year’s early, midweek start.
