Start Date Changed for Knox Schools
July 17, 2025

At the July 17, 2025, meeting, the Knox County Board of Education voted to delay the first day of school for students to Monday, August 11, 2025, in order to ensure a comfortable learning environment.
The decision follows a report from the district’s architect regarding the delivery and installation schedule of ongoing HVAC projects in the district’s schools. The schedule will allow additional time for installation, testing, and several days of operation before students return.
Superintendent and project officials emphasized that this adjustment will help ensure classrooms are properly cooled and ready for learning when students begin on the following Monday, August 11, the new first day of school.
A healthy Knox County requires great community news.
