Reduced Academic Calendar Application Directions

Directions for completing the Reduced Academic Calendar (DOCX)

Submit Your Annual Reduced Academic Calendar Application between February 5th, 2025 and May 9th, 2025

School districts operating with fewer than 160 scheduled days per school year (reduced academic calendars or four day school weeks) are required to submit a request for approval.

To be considered for the 2025-2026 school year, please complete the application via the Directory in Data Pipeline by May 9th, 2025. Districts requesting approval are not obligated to follow their proposed calendar if their local planning is not finalized.

In addition to submitting the application through Data Pipeline, districts who are on Performance Watch (Priority Improvement, Turnaround or On Watch, years 0+) submitting a district-wide application for all schools within the district to be on a reduced calendar need to submit the following additional information separately using the form link below. Additional information includes a copy of the respective school/district calendars, building class schedules, assembly schedules, bell schedules including lunch time intervals, and professional development calendar.

CDE will review the additional materials for the use and prioritization of instructional time. The executive director of field services and the associate commissioner of school quality and support must recommend approval of the application before it is forwarded to the commissioner for consideration.
