Board to seek State Department approval for up to two virtual weather makeup days
Summary
District staff told the board they plan to submit a calendar change that would allow up to two virtual weather makeup days in the next school year; staff said the district qualifies because it is 'academically high performing' and must receive state approval before implementation.
At the May 14 workshop, district staff discussed seeking State Department approval to allow up to two virtual weather makeup days in the coming school year.
Mr. Durham said the board must approve the approach before the district submits it to the state for final authorization. "Once the board approves it, we can submit it to the state for final approval," he said, adding the district is pursuing the option because it is academically high performing.
Board members confirmed the limit is two days. No vote on the calendar change was recorded in the workshop; staff said they will complete the board-level action needed to proceed with the state submission.
Next steps: board-level approval to authorize staff to submit the virtual-makeup-day request to the State Department.
