Is this a comma splice?
It was near the beginning of the year, I had forgotten some textbook or another in my locker, and for some reason I thought that the school was open to visitors on Sundays.

It's borderline.
It could be parsed as two sentences wrongly connected with a comma.
"It was near the beginning of the year SPLICE I had forgotten some textbook or another in my locker"
But it could also be parsed as the comma being equivalent to an implied "that":
"It was near the beginning of the year [that] I had forgotten some textbook
Not in my opinion.
