Among the items taken up by the Copperas Cove School Board of Trustees at its monthly meeting Feb. 9 was the academic calendar for the 2021-2022 school year. The first day of class will be Aug. 18, and the last day of class will be May 26. Spring Break will be March 14-18, 2022. Christmas break will go from Dec. 20 through Jan. 3, 2022. Built into the schedule are six student holidays. Superintendent Joe Burns said the calendar went through numerous revisions after it was presented to a committee that worked with teachers and other district staff. âOut of the drafts that were presented, they chose the draft that weâve provided to you,â Burns said. âAnd that draft is a 187-day work calendar for staff, 170 days for students.â
