Legally Mandated Holidays for Fiscal Years 2022-23 through 2027-28
A list of the legally mandated academic holidays, as specified by Education Code section 79020, is attached for your convenience in establishing your future academic calendars for fiscal years 2022-23 through 2027-28.
Assembly Bill 1655 (Jones-Sawyer, Chapter 753, Statues of 2022) modified Education code section 79020 adding Juneteenth to the list of mandated holidays effective January 1, 2023. Districts are expected to observe the Juneteenth holiday in accordance with the statute effective June 19, 2023.
In addition to the legally mandated holidays listed, a college may close on March 31, known as “Cesar Chavez Day,” and the fourth Friday in September, known as “Native American Day,” if the district’s governing board district agrees to close the college for that purpose. When “Cesar Chavez Day” falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the agreed-upon college closure day shall occur on the preceding Friday or succeeding Monday, respectively. If “Cesar Chavez Day” happens to fall on a weekday, there is no flexibility to move the corresponding holiday observance. The district shall continue to maintain the minimum required 175 days of instruction. If the district does not close for “Cesar Chavez Day” or “Native American Day,” appropriate observances should be held in commemoration.
Assembly Bill 1801 (Nazarian, Chapter 761, Statues of 2022) modified Education Code section 79020 adding an additional optional holiday for community colleges. Effective January 1, 2023, community colleges may close on April 24, known as “Genocide Remembrance Day”, if the district’s governing board agrees to close the college for that purpose.
