The Fayette County Board of Education first approved this calendar on Aug. 22, 2016. It was amended on Oct. 24,
2016, to correct the springs primary election day to May 22 (not May 15). It was amended again on Aug. 7, 2017,
to move a nonflexible staff development day from Oct. 27 to Aug. 21, thus also changing one of the no-school days
for students.

All calendars are subject to change pending legislation and/or statute requirements.

* Weather make-up days are scheduled at the superintendents discretion, and FCPS calendars are updated after
each official announcement.
