On July 9, 2020, Governor Asa Hutchinson announced that the start date for the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year would be moved to the week of August 24, 2020 instead of August 13, 2020. The State of Arkansas did not waive the requirement that schools must be open for instruction for 178 days during a school year. This announcement resulted in the need for Bryant Public Schools to amend our previously-approved school calendar, changing the start date and adding seven additional instructional days.
Attached is the revised calendar for the 2020-21 school year. We look forward to welcoming our Hornets back to school on August 24!
