On February 14, the Board of Education approved the proposed changes to the 2017-2018 school calendar, including:

On May 1, 2018, Knox County will be holding a major Primary Election to include Mayor, Sheriff, County Commission and Board of Education district races. Based on prior election data, the Knox County Election Commission anticipates the participation of 30,000 or more voters. Many of our schools are voting sites and in order to accommodate voters while also ensuring the safety of our students and staff, a change was proposed to the 2017-2018 KCS Schools Calendar.
