Fox – 5 DC
The end is in sight for the 2024-2025 school year, but before Florida students put away their books, there are a couple of holidays to look forward to.
The big one is spring break, but schedules vary around the state, with most taking the week-long holiday in March. Others have to wait until April.
Students in nine counties are the “lucky” ones.
Spring break for them comes today, the day after the switch to daylight saving time, giving them a week to adjust to the time change.
➤ How many states have joined Florida to make daylight saving time permanent? See the list
Here’s the spring break schedule for all 67 Florida counties, but first, here’s what you should know about the upcoming time change.
When is daylight saving time 2025?
We turned our clocks forward one hour — losing an hour of sleep — at 2 a.m. March 9.
Spring break begins day after time change for 9 Florida counties
After the change to daylight saving time Sunday, March 9, spring break will begin March 10 for these nine Florida counties:
One Florida county schedules spring break week before time change
Students in Sumter County will be the first in the state to enjoy spring break.
They’ll be out of school from March 3-7, which means they’ll return to the classroom after a week holiday, hours after the time change.
Most Florida counties schedule spring break starting March 17
March 17-21 was the week chosen for spring break for the majority — 45 — of Florida’s 67 counties.
Flagler, Monroe and Okaloosa counties actually will begin the spring holiday the Friday before, March 14.
Spring break begins March 24 for 5 counties
Spring break won’t begin until April for 7 Florida counties
Most of the counties scheduling spring break for April, including Good Friday — on April 18 — during the week students will have off.

Are there any other holidays before end of 2024-2025 school year?
Yes. Some counties have scheduled a holiday for Good Friday on April 18.
The next holiday is Memorial Day. For students in some counties, the school year ends before the holiday on May 26. For those still going, they will have the day off school on the Monday.
When will daylight saving arrive? When does the time change?
Daylight saving time for 2025 will begin at 2 a.m. EST Sunday, March 9, 2025, and we fall back again at 2 a.m. EST on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025.
This means it will be darker in the morning, so watch for school children heading to the bus stop or heading to school.
What are 2025 federal holidays?

New details in nearly $200,000 Florida embezzlement case
Twenty checks were recorded paid to “Farmer and Irwin,” but Martin County Sheriff’s investigators reported the $85,410 in payments actually went to Alexandra Gonzalez and were used for personal expenses, including travel and retail purchases.
The details are in court records supporting the April 9 arrest of Gonzalez, 46, who is accused of embezzling nearly $200,000 in total from The Dune of Hutchinson Island Condominium Association and the Whitemarsh Reserve Homeowners Association.
Gonzalez, identified as a community association manager who worked for a property management company, was held April 10 in the Martin County jail on 124 charges with more than $1.2 million bond, records show.
Sheriff’s officials in February began investigating after association representatives reported the suspected fraudulent or theft activity, which at Dune of Hutchinson Island occurred beginning in October 2025 and at Whitmarsh Reserve started in February 2025, according to statements in records.
In the Dune of Hutchinson Island case, the owner of the property management company that employed Gonzalez told sheriff’s officials that Gonzalez “exploited the system by creating and altering vendor profiles, specifically a vendor identified as ‘Farmer and Irwin,’ to conceal fraudulent transactions,” according to records.
Checks — 20 in total representing $85,410 — recorded as payments to Farmer and Irwin corresponded to checks issued to Gonzalez, according to statements in records. The checks had a forged signature of a Dune of Hutchinson Island association vice president.
Meanwhile, in the Whitemarsh Reserve case, investigators found 39 checks totaling $111,980 fraudulently issued to Gonzalez. Investigators found Gonzalez “issued fraudulent checks payable to herself, and made corresponding false entries in the association’s accounting system to conceal those transactions…,” records show.
Investigators reported records showed the money was used for personal expenses, including travel, cosmetic and medical procedures and retail purchases.
In speaking with investigators, Gonzalez expressed regret and said she’d be willing to repay the amounts “to avoid legal consequences.”
Gonzalez ultimately reported going through financial challenges during the time when the checks were issued.
“When asked if her financial situation was the reason she issued checks to herself, Gonzalez admitted that it was,” records show.
