East Central ISD confirms Good Friday off; district used bad-weather makeup day to preserve holiday
Loading...
Summary
The district told trustees that, in scheduling makeup days after bad weather, it preserved Good Friday as a student holiday and instead scheduled school on a Monday makeup day.
District staff told the board that because of a previously scheduled bad-weather makeup day, the district arranged the academic calendar so students will have Good Friday off and will attend on the makeup Monday instead.
Officials said the decision preserves the holiday for families while meeting state-required instructional minutes using the next available makeup date. The transcript noted that one makeup day was used and that staff had considered the available dates when setting the schedule; no details on which campuses or grades were affected were provided.
No formal board vote on the calendar adjustment was recorded in the transcript; the item was presented as an informational update to trustees.
