SEP Keeps June 1 as a Normal School Day Despite Local Strikes and State Changes

State and union decisions can create local school closures despite the federal calendar remaining in force.

Overview

  • The Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) says Monday, June 1, will be a regular school day and that the only nationwide student suspension in June is the Consejo Técnico Escolar on Friday, June 26, with the 2026–2027 year set to begin August 31.
  • The Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE) has called a national paro for June 1 and Oaxaca’s Section 22 is on an indefinite strike, so some schools may close where teachers join the action.
  • At least nine states have already adjusted their calendars or operations for local reasons including extreme heat and World Cup logistics, with Jalisco shifting to virtual classes on match days and places like Colima and Yucatán moving end‑of‑cycle dates.
  • Conflicting headlines and social posts have driven confusion, prompting education authorities to tell parents to follow official SEP notices and state secretariats for school‑level updates.
  • The result is a patchwork school year that can disrupt childcare, final exams and travel plans, so families should watch for local announcements and expect uneven service and schedules in the coming weeks.
