# Enabling Planning for Next School Year

Users with the **Create District Curriculum Courses**right can enable planning for the next school year on the **Instructional Calendar Management**screen. When you are ready to begin planning, follow the steps below to allow other users to access the new instructional calendar.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** To start planning for next school year, the instructional calendar must be set up in [**Management**](/v1/docs/management). To learn how to set up the instructional calendar, see [Creating the Instructional Calendar](/v1/docs/creating-instructional-calendar). If you do not have access to creating instructional calendars, contact your Eduphoria System Administrator to get this set up.

> [!WARNING]
> **Caution:** Once planning is enabled, the action cannot be undone. Please confirm with your team, administrators, or any other necessary parties before you enable Curriculum Planning or Teacher Planning.
