The Springfield Board of Education wants the public's input on the proposed 2015-2016 school year calendar.
According to the Springfield Public School District, the proposed calendar is a result of the calendar committee's "use of legislative materials, best practices and stakeholder input."
The Board will vote on the calendar at its meeting on February 17th.

- Winter break--Dec. 18-Jan. 1
- Spring break—March 7-11
- Last day for students—Thursday, May 25 (could be as early as May 17 if none of the six built-in emergency/inclement weather days are needed )
