As in prior years, the calendar development process includes input from district team members, the Tulsa Classroom Teachers Association (TCTA), the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and school leaders. We also surveyed a group of parents to gather feedback on potential changes. The calendar is designed and then presented to the Tulsa Board of Education for approval. Pending board approval and contract negotiations with TCTA and AFT, the 2022-2023 school year calendar would include an orientation day for students on Tuesday, Aug. 16; this orientation day was added based on the positive feedback we received from families and team members about our 2021-2022 orientation days. The first day of school would be on Thursday, Aug. 18 and the last day would be on Thursday, May 25. The proposed calendar follows a traditional fall, winter, and spring break schedule; there would be no February break. Our 2022-2023 calendar, like those for each of the three prior years, is designed to exceed state requirements while also supporting learning and minimizing student absences by avoiding short weeks.
