The first day of school for Broward County Public School students is Monday, August 10, 2026. The week prior, August 3–7, 2026, is set aside for Employee Planning Days, so teachers will be on campus but students will not report until August 10th.
Q: When is the last day of school for Broward County in 2026–2027?
The last day of school is Friday, May 28, 2027, which is also an Early Release Day. Grade 12 students receive their report cards on May 24, 2027, while report cards for Grades K–11 are issued later on June 10, 2027.
Q: When is Broward County Public School spring break 2027?
Broward County Public School District Calendar spring break 2027 runs from Monday, March 22 through Friday, March 26, 2027. All schools are closed for the entire week. Additionally, March 18 is an Early Release Day and March 19 is an Employee Planning Day, so that stretch effectively creates a very long break period for families to plan around.

Yes, several. Beyond the major breaks, Broward County Public Schools has multiple one-day closures throughout the year — including September 7, September 21, October 12 (Employee Planning Day), November 3 (Employee Planning Day), November 11, January 4, January 18, February 15, March 10, and March 19.
