Breckinridge County Schools sets dates for last day of classes and graduation

Breckinridge County Schools has confirmed their district calendar for the end of the school year.

“Last Friday afternoon, our school board met and approved an amended calendar where our last day of school for students is Thursday, May 15, and set our graduation ceremony for the class of 2025 to take place on Friday, May 16 at 7 p.m. at Tiger Arena on the campus of Breckinridge County High School,” said BCS Superintendent Dr. Nick Carter.

Carter said state law requires school districts to hit instructional hour and instructional day benchmarks, but factors such as winter weather, flooding in eastern Kentucky, and districts cancelling school during the fall due to a purported social media threat prompted the Kentucky General Assembly to pass House Bill 241.

“I think this year has just been kind of a cumulative effect, and so our General Assembly decided to pass a bill that would give a little bit of calendar relief, and so that provided us enough relief to be able to get our calendar back to what was originally approved for the 24-25 school year,” Carter said.

As the school year winds down, BCS has announced the district will be using ParentSquare for all classroom, school, and group communication. Carter says the platform was initially launched at the middle school and consolidates communication down to one place.

“We have just an app for everything as far as communication, and so what we’re trying to do is develop a one-stop shop for communication in the district so it’s easier for our parents,” Carter said.

District families should be receiving an invitation email or text. Contact the district for more information.
