In case of another day off school due to poor weather, this district would come to school on May 4 rather than receive the day as a flex day off.

Superintendent Barbara Underwood said if there are any days off in addition to this, the district would need to make up the day.

“We are required by law to have 180 school days,” Underwood said. The last time that the district had to make up a day, the students came in on a Saturday for school. Underwood said attendance was very low on that day.

According to Underwood, no plan is set up if another snow day were to occurThey will jump this hurdle if it arises.

Any additional two-hour delays will not count against the snow days, but the district will continue to use them only if necessary.

She said, “Our job is to educate kids and you can’t do it if they are not there.” By Brittani Wheeler
