With this week's snow days, the school calendar needs to amended again. The two additional days added to the calendar will be:
Day #1- Easter Monday will be a regular school day.
Day #2- The last day of school will be May 27 (Thursday), and Friday will be the last teacher workday.
There is a rumor going around that the State will grant permission for schools to not make up days. This is not true. The state sets the minimum number of hours of instruction for accreditation. We will meet those minimum hours. But more importantly, schools can qualify for an instructional time allowance in the state aid formula that provides additional stae aid to schools that go to school more than the average of their comparability group.
The instructional time allowance is the reason that students need to attend 180 days of school.
