No reliable sources, many statements likely contain original research. School breaks and holidays vary widely by state and local school districts. In addition, this article is all redundant to
Academic year#United States and there is no reason the United States needs a separate article.

Delete: Redundant article based off of
Academic year#United States. Nothing here suggests that the split was warranted. It's all sourced to a single source, and most of the statements seem to be unreferenced
original research.

Delete per nom. The sources cited are (a) a website of no particular authority and (b) a YouTube video which isn't even linked from this article. A large portion of the article consists of text such as "If the year is a common year starting on Wednesday or leap year starting on Tuesday, Thanksgiving is on November 27 and Black Friday is on November 28", implying that one should look at a January calendar in order to learn the date of Thanksgiving, rather than a November calendar on which Thanksgiving would be the fourth Thursday (and commonly would be listed there). --

Keep and develop. The parent article is a start, overlong and going nowhere. Personally I have been trying to coordinate a family holiday, with kids in England and Northern Ireland France and possibly US. All need separate articles. Use Academic year to provide links by country. Academic year is different school academic year- and different from school holidays. The information may be easy to find locally, outside the country it really is not obvious.

Redirect/merge/delete Since the article merely duplicates
Academic_year#United_States, this should have just been a bold merge, no discussion required. While the above links do relate to that article,
Summer vacation, and
Spring break, they are not the basis for keeping another redundant page. IF that article is improved, an appropriate split could be performed but I see nothing to keep here.

Keep as appears to be a notable topic, AfD isn't for cleanup.
