COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Calendars at public schools in Branch County for the 2017-2018 school year have been set, so classes can officially begin before Labor Day.
The Branch Intermediate School District Board of Education Wednesday approved the district’s calendar for next year, and it calls for classes to start August 22, 2017, which will be the same day that Coldwater, Bronson and Quincy students will head back to class after their summer vacations.
The Michigan Department of Education granted a three year waiver a few months ago so that the districts can start classes before Labor Day.
Superintendent Joe Lopez said all of the vacation days will be the same.
The last day of classes for the 2017-2018 school year will be June 1, 2018.
