Here is an updated version – for 2009 - of a school spring vacation schedule that I have posted on TUG at about this time of year each of the past seven years. The schedule is useful in determining what weeks will likely be very busy at various resorts but should not be relied on for your own school district plans, since schedules often vary among school districts within a state.
Where multiple weeks are listed and separated by “or”, each such week is vacation in at least one school district. Easter falls on April 12. The weeks immediately before and after Easter are popular vacation weeks. Also popular are the last two weeks of March and (in New England) the third week of April.
The schedule lists 2009 spring vacation periods for every state and DC, except for Rhode Island and West Virginia, for which I could not yet locate 2008-2009 approved calendars.
Please note that the dates are representative only, are for traditional tracks, not year-round school calendars, and do not include colleges or private schools. Many states have varying vacation dates in different school districts. Only sample dates for each state are reflected here.
