The revisions in the previous board-approved student calendar for 2022-2023 are needed due to the updated Florida Statute 1001.42. This State Statute dictates that the first day of school cannot be earlier than August 10th. Clay County currently has Tuesday, August 9th listed as the first day of school for the 2022-2023 school year and therefore would not be in compliance with the statute when audited. The District Calendar Committee, which is comprised of members who represent all major operations of the school district, elementary and secondary school principals, parents,  Clay County Education Association (CCEA), and Clay Educational Staff Professional Association (CESPA), met on April 7th to discuss moving the start and end date by one day to ensure compliance with the statute. Below are the proposed adjustments for the teacher's first and last day, and the student's first and last day for the school year 2022-2023. 

• Current first day for teachers: Monday, Aug. 1st. 
• Proposed first day for teachers: Tuesday, Aug. 2nd (this would still allow for 6 days of preplanning with one day being the same in-service day on the traditional Thursday). 
• Current first day for students: Tuesday, Aug. 9th
• Proposed first day for students: Wednesday, Aug. 10th 

• Current last day for teachers: Friday, May 26th
• Proposed last day for teachers: Tuesday, May 30th (the day after Memorial Day)
• Current last day for students: Thursday, May 25th
• Proposed last day for students: Friday, May 26th
