Early release days

How we counted, and where this comes from
We read the official Fulton County 2026-27 calendar on October 4, 2026: https://www.fultonschools.org/fs/resource-manager/view/9a67d349-70db-4745-8448-b41ada26b232. A day counts when school is closed for all students on a weekday, or the whole district lets students out early. Holidays that almost every employer observes (Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Memorial Day) are never counted. Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Veterans Day and Presidents’ Day count as holidays only when the district closes school for that holiday by name, because many employers stay open. That left 5 holidays out of the count here. Election Day (Nov 3) is a remote-learning day at home, and the last day of school (May 27 on the approved calendar) may move to May 26 if a proposed budget furlough day on May 27 goes ahead; the board decides after its October 2026 tax-rate hearings. Calendars change and some days vary by school, so check with your school before you book childcare.
