Key Points:

  • Teacher work days (also known as in-service, administrative or professional development days) are days when teachers report, but students do not attend classes.
  • These days will be possible in the very beginning of the school year, mid-year and/or at the end to provide planning, training, curriculum work, and grade-reporting.
  • As an example, in Knox County Schools, the teacher’s first day is July 31, 2025 (school-based in-service day).
  • Administrative/Work Days differ from regular student days, and they can be used to prepare teachers, hold meetings, or develop professionally.
  • It is also convenient when teachers, staff, and families are informed of these days ahead to facilitate schedules (childcare, availability of staff) as well.
