Los Angeles Schools: No Traditional Spring Break

Unlike most U.S. school districts, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD)—the nation's second-largest—does not observe a week-long spring break in March or April.

Instead, LAUSD operates on a year-round calendar (though most schools now use a modified traditional calendar) with five shorter breaks of two to three days distributed throughout the academic year. These "off-track" periods vary by school track.

Families should consult the official LAUSD calendar for exact dates, as schedules differ by school and track.
