The Christmas vacation will start on Thursday, Dec. 23, and end on Monday, Jan. 3, 2022. This is the same schedule used this school year, which saw the December date switched for the traditional Good Friday holiday in April.
The School Committee approved the calendar on Tuesday night though how the state's new Juneteenth holiday will be observed will depend on snow days.
Superintendent Barbara Malkas said the decision to go with the December holiday was based on feedback provided by the committee at its last meeting and the preference of the North Adams Teachers Association, which had been presented with both options.
