Palm Beach Schools Reveal Shocking New Academic Calendar Sparking Concern Among Parents In recent months, Palm Beach County Public Schools have announced a dramatic overhaul of the academic calendar—an unexpected shift that has sent ripples of worry through the community. Parents, teachers, and students alike are raising alarm over the new scheduling changes, which some describe as “shocking” and cite concerns ranging from family disruptions to educational equity. ### What’s in the New Palm Beach Schools Calendar? The revised school calendar introduces earlier start dates, reduced fall break duration, and an unexpected shift from the traditional spring break modeled for decades. According to school district documents released last week, the 2025–2026 academic calendar now begins in late July with only a five-day fall break—half the usual time—and starts academic operations two weeks earlier than previous cycles.
