Sarasota County Schools Thanksgiving Break-Students, 186, 196, 220 Staff

Thanksgiving week is the district's only full week without classes between the August start and winter break. Sarasota County Schools lists the closure for students and for employees in its 186, 196 and 220 staff groups, categories that start the school year on different dates. A fourth group, the 240 staff, carries its own, shorter break entered as a separate item on the calendar. When classes resume, the second grading period has only a few weeks left to run before the winter holiday closes the schools again.
