Summary
Murfreesboro City Schools approved a revised 2025–26 calendar that synchronizes major breaks and the start date with Rutherford County Schools and reserves stockpile days for professional learning and inclement weather.
The Murfreesboro City Schools Board approved a revised academic calendar for the 2025–26 school year at its June 24 meeting. District staff said the calendar was adjusted to align the first day of school, fall break, spring break and the start of winter break with Rutherford County Schools and to accommodate the county election schedule in May.
According to staff, the calendar meets Tennessee Department of Education requirements, uses six stockpile days for professional learning and saves seven stockpile days for inclement weather. The presenter said no substantive changes were made after the district’s prior workshop presentation and recommended approval "as presented." A motion to approve the calendar carried with no opposition.
Board members asked no substantive questions during the vote. Staff confirmed the calendar was intended to improve coordination with the county schedule and to incorporate stakeholder feedback on the school‑year end date.
